Ultra-feminist founder of Femen Brazil declares herself pro-life, apologizes to Christians

Sarah Winter's book decrying the harmful effects of feminism

Sara Winter once bared her chest for Femen. Now she’s fighting for the unborn

December 28, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Sara Fernanda Giromin first made herself known to Brazil and to the world under the alias “Sara Winter” in 2012, when she became the founding member of Femen Brazil, and led a trio of girls in a number of topless protests that garnered much media attention. However, only three years later, the young activist has done an about-face and has declared war on feminism and abortion, and is apologizing to Christians for her offensive behavior. She has also published a short book detailing the abuse and disappointment she suffered at the hands of fellow feminists.

Giromin’s changing attitudes were first revealed in October of this year, when she expressed her repentance for an abortion that took the life of her first child, and acknowledged that the recent birth of her second child had changed her attitudes regarding the right to life.

“I have repented of having had an abortion and today I ask for forgiveness,” wrote Giromin. “Yesterday marked one month after the birth of my baby and my life has taken on a new meaning. I’m writing this while he sleeps serenely on my lap. It is the greatest sensation in the world.”

“Please, women who are desperate to abort, think carefully about it. I was very sorry I did it. I don’t want the same for you,” she added.

In the months that have followed, Giromin has revealed to her readership her disillusionment with feminism and gender ideology, and has repudiated her “bisexual” orientation. She has also expressed remorse for having offended Christians in January of 2014, when she engaged in a well publicized same-sex kiss with another seminude girl with a cross in the background, in front of the Church of Our Lady of Candelária in Rio de Janeiro. The photo of the two had become iconic in Brazil of homosexual contempt for Christianity.

“Asking for forgiveness is certainly not an easy thing to do,” said Giromin in a YouTube video entitled “I ask Christians for forgiveness for feminist protest.” “We went way too far and ended up offending many religious and non-religious people,” she added, recognizing the stunt as a form of “blasphemy.” She adds that she is making progress in her own spiritual life, although the exact nature of her current beliefs remains unclear.

Although she left Femen in 2013 after denouncing it as a “business,” she had continued her bare-chested protests as the leader of a new feminist group comprised of both men and women, called “Bastardxs,” (allowing for both the masculine and feminine forms of the word “Bastards” in Portuguese).  She has now made it clear that she regards herself as having no affiliation with feminism at all, repudiating the movement as a religious “sect” that uses women as objects, promotes lesbianism, and covers up pedophilia in its ranks.

“For the feminist sect women are not the inspiration, they are prime matter in the worst sense of the term. They are convenient objects useful for the purpose of inflaming hatred against the Christian religion, hatred against men, hatred against the beauty of women, hatred against the equilibrium of families. That’s what feminism is, and I can guarantee it is like that because I was on the inside!”

“I saw the feminist movement cover up for PEDOPHILES,” writes Giromin. “I saw the feminist movement PERSECUTE WOMEN ... I am a witness to the fact that today in the feminist movement women are not of any importance but serve as fuel for the fires of hatred that the feminist sect cannot allow to die.”

Giromin says that she felt pressured by the feminist movement to declare herself “bisexual” so that she could receive maximum respect. “Lesbian and bisexual women have much more voice and respect within the movement, so in the search for recognition of my struggle, with each day that passed, I deconstructed my heterosexuality and was substituting it with an artificial bisexuality.” Upon leaving feminism, Giromin ceased to regard herself as a “bisexual” and has also rejected gender ideology, a sine qua non of social acceptance in the feminist movement.

In her new book “Bitch, no! Seven times I was betrayed by Feminism” (Vadia não! Sete vezes que fui traída pelo feminismo), Giromin writes that she was repeatedly pushed to do drugs, to engage in sex with strangers, and was even molested by a lesbian, all at the hands of feminists who claimed to be fighting for women’s equality. She also recounts that when she once confided in a feminist academic that she was involved in prostitution while still a teen, she was devastated to find that the woman affirmed her behavior and did nothing to offer her a way out. She notes that one of the few times she received affection, kindness, and understanding from a female friend, it was from an older, conservative “anti-feminist,” who treated her like a daughter.


Book cover of her book titled, “Bitch, no! Seven times I was betrayed by Feminism.” LifeSite highlight of word FEMIINISMO on the gun.

Giromin is donating a percentage of her book earnings to pro-life causes, and is now beginning to give talks against feminism, gender ideology and cultural Marxism, teaming up with Christian psychologist Marisa Lobo.

“I left that movement of which for four years I was one of the principal symbols in Brazil, and no one can say the contrary!” writes Giromin. “The result? Today I’m much happier and I’m able to help women more.”

God bless her. I hope that this confession has an impact on the women who remain under the spell of this evil sect.

And oh, the logic that says the most is the logic of Jesus’ love.

Let conservatives learn this logic (if necessary, all over again, if not anew) and now they will have an argument that not even the gates of hell will be able to resist. Hell cannot hate as much as God can love.

She is a witness of a Christ who is ready to act as soon as other souls begin to understand who He is and what He does.

That sounds like a genuine conversion.

It certainly has a ring of truth to it.

God bless and protect her.

Perhaps intended as self-deprecating nudge aimed at fellow FReepers, but still not too funny.
You should have just demanded a sammich. :-)
God bless this young mother for speaking out.

Oh, Jesus has accepted the prodigal daughter, ginning up something like this would be unthinkable. Give her time to grow, certainly, but oh boy (or maybe for her sake I should say oh girl). Watch out devil. She’s going to kick your rear (or crush your head) eight ways from Sunday.

I take it in context as sarcasm. I don’t even think Laz would hit her, except maybe with a chaste kiss that says “Thank you.”

Good for her.

Pray for her also. She gave up a lot to make this statement, and will be attacked. Support her in your own way.

Of course.
I didn’t mean to give Rooster a hard time.

While I appreciate and respect what this woman is doing here, she is one sad character.

I tend to want to think the best about the women I meet or read about. It doesn't take one minute to Google this woman on the internet, and see far more than you really want to see.

It saddens me to see what some women do to destroy their own mystique.

I wanted to find a nice photo of her to post here. She has some nice facial features.

What I found caused me to forget the notion.

Is Ms. Giromin’s book available in English?

Yep. I was just yoking.

Actually, I have an add-on (MetaCert for Firefox) that prevents porno/naked photos from appearing on my computer.

Keeps the nasty stuff off my monitor and out of my mind.;-)

But I will take a sammich if the offer still stands. Just Freepmail it (my favorite sammich is meatloaf, but I am open to surprises).
