I have become really interested in Femen, the feminist group who claim the ideology of ‘sextremism’.
This is the new ideology of women’s sexual protest presented by extreme topless campaigns of direct action, serving to protect women’s rights, democracy watchdogs attacking patriarchy, in all it’s forms: the dictatorship, the church, the sex industry.
They are openly rascist, claiming that white women are not responsible for saving black women from black men, this got me thinking, is it the responsibility of a women’s movement to be representative of all women as a single entity? The way this group behave indicates they believe women are different based on race and therefore are not united based on the fact they are women. in terms of the veil, is the responsibility of the women who are in societies where it they do not have to wear face coverings in public to campaign for the rights of women who have to be veiled, just because they are all women?
