Feminist group 'Femen' whipped out their breasts and hurled blood soaked knickers at the Archbishop of Madrid. They were protesting the newly proposed abortion laws in spain which will see a more restrictive policy.

I think the heirachy of the catholic church are long overdo a bit of tit anyways. Lol.

Anyone think theres an appetite amongst Irish feminists to stage somthing similar against the hierarchy over here ?

While i have no breasts myself, i fully support such action.

Some people would pay good money for that sort of carry on.

Agreed with PucaMama. I'm pro-choice myself and I assume that's the viewpoint of these women. However, part of being pro-choice is respecting someone else's choice to be pro-life.

My name is URL

Fcukin idiots. It's funny that such a radical feminist group are best known for getting their tits out for the media.

The Diabolical Monocle

Was the blood theirs ??

Was it their period blood ??

Was it fresh ?? all over their smelly stained panties ??



... I wanna be an archbishop.

MarkR

That is vile. Throwing bodily fluids at each other should only be between consenting adults. Hope to god they didn't have wings. Might be still flying around the place, like little cotton drones!

I take your point. Altho, do pro-lifers respect the opinions of pro-choicers?

Artful_Badger

All I got from that is tits, big tits, little tits, perky tits, bouncy tits, something something the church. But mostly tits.

If thats not their message then they should probably stop going around flashing their tits.

Probably not and they are prone to their own disturbing protests. It's a debate that would usually instantly turn me off to be honest. It seems to bring the worst out in a lot of people. I have my own views on abortion which I usually keep to myself to be honest. Not a debate I enjoy

Auldloon

I'm willing to show my support by allowing them to fellate me. Blow jobs for Jesus or whatever.

Duckworth_Luas

When I asked a feminist to bash the bishop she was incandescent with rage?

Wouldn't flash her tits either!

A Primal Nut

That blondy one towards the end of the end of the video had a really nice pair.

These women's use of 'breast fascination' is a guaranteed method of drawing attention to their protest - look how many reporters are there to record naked tits the protest.

GenieOz

I'm so torn, I hate feminist groups like this but I also wouldn't be a fan of the Catholic Church. I don't think I've ever felt so indifferent.

Rosy Posy

I was at an anti-war protest many years back where an activist removed her blood soaked pad and stuck it to a policeman's riot shield. I felt so sorry for the guy, who looked fresh out of Templemore, and it was more disgusting for the crowd who were on the receiving end so to speak.

I would consider myself a feminist and pro-choice but I'm not sure about this kind of protest- it seems to draw attention away from the issue, rather than highlighting it- note we're having a discussion on tits, not women's rights here. It also allows the other side to dismiss protesters as loonies.

How exactly do you 'whip out' breasts?

I'd like to know so I can give it a shot if something offends me.

Stick them on an island and arm them. Let them fight it out.

My apologies, i dont think they whipped em out at all. They didnt seem to be wearing any tops to begin with.

I'll bear it in mind.

Don't approve of the action at all, don't approve of any attempt to censor dissent. The Archbishop is entitled to his opinions, as is the church, even if modern society considers them archaic.

I've no idea what boobs or blood are meant to achieve, apart from notoriety. Certainly doesn't make me respect them, since I tend to prefer civilised discourse as a rule.

tits out for the lads

Galwayguy35

Fooking idiots, I hope it wasn't their own blood they threw at him, it would be a worry for anyone seeing as a number of diseases can be transferred in this way.

smcgiff

Were there inverted crosses on some of their backs? Yeah, that's going to help them.

woodoo

The archbishop should have pushed one of them away with both hands on her tits . That would have been a great still frame for the papers.

The Th!ng

If the bishop spunked off on them in retaliation the headlines would read Semen on Femen.

SPS1

Gee. This method of protesting has me interested in their views..

RDM_83 again

The cynical part of me thinks FEMEN uses these protests and attention received to drum up donations to its founders since there protest methods completely detract from any message.

The paranoid and cynical part of me thinks that they are probably actually funded by the Star and Sun to fill pages and TITillate ;-) their readers

Stavros Murphy

"Shouty Tits bash the Bishop".

I can see the Headline already. I'm gonna go out on a limb and bet they're into roller-derby too. I'm also betting they don't get the lads view of their protests - which amounts to somwhere around "Ohh look, tits.."

Manach

Progressives using tactics of intimidation so create an atmosphere of fear. This type of vileness of degree (albeit not type) would be similar of the petty bullying tactics that their historical predecessors used against the one institution that stands for tradition and civilisation, the Church.

Yeah I don't see them doing that in Saudi Arabia where women are actually opressed. Well done, feminists. Fight the the good fight, in a democratic country with a democratically elected government.

Yes. Don't equate disagreement with disrespect.

I think they're mentalers, but I wouldn't be encouraging them to try that in Saudi. You'd get a very painful death for it, tbh.

"feminists"? can think of a lot of words to describe then but none would involve anything feminine.disgusting,truly disgusting

Actions like these could be more harmful to the progression of womens rights on various issues.

Do actions like these not demean us all? (male and female)

ballsymchugh

why didn't they direct their protest at the minister of whatever department is bringing in the new law?

Tradition yeh, don't know about civilisation. The church doesn't have a great track record in that regard. Nothing against people having their religious beliefs, but there's no point in making dubious statements.

"Let's get attention with our tits." Really doing feminism justice there.

I think this group only damages their cause the way they behave instead of furthering it.

It allows normal people to dismiss them as loonies for good reasons. Though the loonies are good for a giggle to be fair.

This is the closest he'll get to a pair of tits. Reactionary and caveman as he is, he probably went to say a few prayers in case he had an erection. No pity for him at all.

They prtested in the Spanish parliament last year. Same way. One of the ushers working there had a good grab at them trying to get the women from the chamber.

Agreed they are most likely loonies up for the craic, but I'm feminist and prochoice and I resent the possibility of being tarred with the same brush as this shower.

It's amazing that just because the man is a member of the clergy, some people here think it's ok to throw blood at him.
