Ive seen a lot of bizarre responses to pro-life activism. Theres the crude picket signs, the illiterate chants, the flashes of violence, the incoherent threats that so often seem to involve used tampons, and even activists dressed up like giant genitalia.
But there is one phenomenon that never ceases to stagger me with its counterproductive stupidity and moral blindness: The increasing prevalence of feminist protestors, almost exclusively women, stripping down to protest somethingusually protection for the pre-born or some other dissent from the totalitarian death cult of the Sexual Revolution.
When people ask me what the weirdest response to pro-life work is and I try to explain this phenomenon, they find it hard to believe. So do I. But yet it happens, time and time again.
One student stripped down and sat on a folding chair in front of our pro-life display at the University of British Columbia. A few protestors decided to protest the launch of our 2012 national tour by going topless. Then, at a presentation in London, Ontario, a bunch of pro-abortion protesters showed up at a counter-protest organized by the Canadian Auto Workers Union, sans clothing. And of course, at last years March for Life a topless Femen protestor flung herself at a remarkably composed Catholic bishop as he spoke to the crowd, shrieking F*** your morals!
Youd think such behaviour would attract ire rather than admiration. But this is 2014 and most of our municipal governments use our taxpayers cash basically to fund a day dedicated to that type of behaviour when the Pride Parade rolls around.
Instead, these women are now generally referred to as brave. Even the popular, but tiresomely far-left website Upworthy recently pushed a video with a street activist protesting harassment by misogynist pigs by standing on the street in her lingerie. (Little tip: Protesting the fact that some misogynists define you by your body by voluntarily showing them what they wanted to see in the first place isn't defiance, it's acquiescence. Protesting the fact that these guys aren't treating you with dignity by acting like you have none is counter-productive. That guy crudely suggested he wants to see me naked! Well, Ill show him! By showing him exactly what he wants to see! Wait )
A bit of research into the infamous nude activist group Femen (Our mission is protest, our weapon is bare breasts) shows just how exploitative (inadvertent though it may sometimes be) this entire phenomenon is. In recent documentary the groups leader, Viktor Svyatski, admitted that he had perhaps started the group to get girls, and that he carefully selected only the most attractive girls for his group. The documentary also revealed that Svyatski had described the Femen girls as weak, and was often verbally abusive with them.
Again, the suicidal tendencies of modern-day feminism would be almost laughable if they were not so depressing.
But the phenomenon of public nudity is also more than just incoherent protestit is a way of forcing people to accept any and all manifestations of the Sexual Revolution. As I noted some time ago: The public is now regularly subjected to crude and wildly exhibitionist Gay Pride Parades and Slut Walks. These are not considered to be optional festivals hosted by tiny minority groups. No, politicians who refuse to attend are labelled as heretics by the high priests of the New Moral Order, which is of course not an order at all, but a proud lack thereof.
Liberal activists dont want the State to be outside the bedroom anymore, they want the State in the bedroomloudly applauding the acts they see taking place, refraining from any judgment but one of approval, and paying for pills and bits of rubber to ensure that such acts do not go awry and result in reproduction or infection.
Your prayers are not welcome in public, but your privates are. The Emperor has no clothes, and is quite enjoying itso long as the chilly breezes of moral truth dont leak out of drafty cathedrals to cause discomfort.
There may be hope on the horizon, as indicated by the wild popularity of such books as Wendy ShaIits A Return to Modesty, as well as increasing disinterest in topless beaches in places like France. Some feminists have responded to such trends with irritation, grumbling that all the hard-won ground they had fought for is being spurned by the ungrateful brats of today. But perhaps, instead, many women are realizing that allowing men to freely objectify them in public is not all its cracked up to be.
Perhaps people have begun to rediscover a human value that was once enormously prized, but now almost forgotten: Dignity.
Bexause they want us to not believe their ugliness goes deeper?
Why are women protesters who take their clothes off, always really, really ugly?
I imagine their parental units didn’t teach them any better.
Untreated mental illness.
It is kind of a flat response, if you ask me.
Because they are obsessed by feelings of worthlessness, and - therefore - powerlessness and invisibility.
They think they see a great truth that no one else sees. Like so many left-wingers, they think that ordinary people are blind, deaf, stupid. That we need to have our eyes opened.
This is why they do things that are shocking. They want to shock. They have this in common with more violent terrorist organizations.
bump
Same reason that left wing women dress up as giant pink vaginas.
It is part of the left’s War on Common Sense and Morality.
It also explains why they keep getting pregnant and signing up for abortions.
A naked woman, no matter how ugly, can always find some guy who is drunk enough to do her.
No photos needed. Guilty!!!!

They also seem to want the state in the kitchen telling them what to eat and what not to eat...
Many liberal groups hire strippers because their members are butt ugly.

They do that because they themselves are spiritually blind and they don’t realize they are projecting..
Quick cure for that kind of behavior would be tarantula hair, of the kind that goes in itching powder.
Evil people — quite possibly demonic possession.

You know what REALLY pisses them off?
Laughing at them and openly MOCKING them.
They cannot stand that...
You may think that standing and shouting back will deter them.... It will not.... Laughing at their foolishness will drive them literally up the wall to the point where they will even physically start assaulting the people who are laughing at them.
Make sure you are filing and then point, (oh they HATE pointing ) and Laugh at them and make it seem like you are having a good time AT THEIR EXPENSE! It will make your average mentally Ill leftie just go balls out ballistic!
