Femen: The Origins

Yesterday I watched the documentary "Ukraine is not a brothel", about feminist group Femen.

I always found this group's actions lazy and cheap-thought, but this documentary revealed another, almost ironic, absolutely ridiculous, aspect of this group, or at least it's Ukrainian origins: the leader of the group was a man! And not any man, but what seemed to be a sexist asshole.
More than this, he happened to be the founder...



Documentary with Catalan Language subtitles.

Here I have chosen some of the most shocking moments of the documentary:

Victor Svyatski, Femen’s Abusive "Patriarch" and probable founder:



And here is a hidden camera footage of Victor Svyatski's 
reaction after one of the girls' actions:




My favorite Femen fails:

"Sextremists of International FEMEN movement appeared in European Parliament and joined G7 to do a blow-job for Putin. Painted with "Today G7, tomorrow G8 again?" And "Wanking today, sucking Putin tomorrow" FEMEN committed a topless suck-protest in Brussels." [femen.org]

"I'm a woman, not an object"...
But the smartest thing I could think of 
to get your attention is showing my breasts.
