Radical group Femen is mainly known for staging topless media stunts to protest oppression. And while they’ve been presented as a feminist female empowerment group, a new documentary revealed that the group is actually run by a man who happens to love hot topless women.
Victor Svyatski is listed as a consultant for the group, however filmmaker Kitty Green — who just completed the documentary “Ukraine is Not a Brothel” about the group — says that Svyatski is more of the mastermind behind the stunts.
Green told The Independent, “It’s his movement and he hand-picked the girls. He hand-picked the prettiest girls because the prettiest girls sell more papers. The prettiest girls get on the front page… that became their image, that became the way they sold the brand.”
While the public persona of the group touts female empowerment, Svyatski seems to believe the opposite. In the film he says, “These girls are weak.” He adds, “They don’t have the strength of character. They don’t even have the desire to be strong. Instead, they show submissiveness, spinelessness, lack of punctuality, and many other factors which prevent them from becoming political activists. These are qualities which it was essential to teach them.”
One of the members of Femen describes their relationship to Svyatski as being akin to Stockholm Syndrome. She told Green, “We are psychologically dependent on him and even if we know and understand that we could do this by ourselves without his help, it’s psychological dependence.”
Their slogan is, “Our mission is protest, our weapons are bare breasts.” So is it really that far fetched to think it was a man who decided a good form of protest was having hot girls take their tops off?
They were being used by a perv.
karmic retribution for sluts?
no!
Am I supposed to have a problem with this? Because I don’t. I’ve seen the pictures.
Every adolescent boy’s dream job...
I know someone is going to post a picture of Patton with the magnificent bastard quote. I wonder how “in on it” these women were?
Start the pussy riot!
With all the terrible news I have read today, this is the post that is the bright one.
The title alone made me shoot beer through my nose.
lmao!!!
How does one get a job like this.........
Victor Svyatski is merely a Russian Joe Francis.
Surely someone else would have posted “This thread is useless without pictures” by now ... we’re slipping!
I wonder if he has made as much money as Hefner.
feminist group and hot women — does not compute
yep
Not unlike why hetero male college students become vegans.
Damn! Back when I graduated (Paleolithic era) the career placement office didn’t have any great jobs like this?
... hordes of butt-ugly girls running around topless tend to arouse crowds only to revulsion.
I so wanted to post a picture of a guy doing that, but I am sure it would get pulled!
