NO-ONE CAN SUBJUGATE ME! French Femen activists bare their breasts to the imams...

Don't necessarily agree with the action, but LOVE the chutzpah and the righteous anger!



NO-ONE CAN SUBJUGATE ME!

"Dirty whores, kill them!"

The "two imams were talking about the issue of whether or not a man could/should beat his wife," when the two activists aged 25 and 31, mounted the stage, said Inna Shevchenko, spokesperson for Femen in Paris.

In Arabic and French, they shouted the same slogans painted on their breasts and backs: "No-one subjugates me, no-one owns me, I am my own prophet."

The two young women were of Algerian and Tunisian origin, said the spokeswoman for Femen. Immediately, shouts of "Dirty whores, kill them!" reverberated again and again around the hall and "fifteen men jumped on the stage and overpowered them", says Inna Shevchenko, who was grateful that the police intervened quickly to protect the women.

Great action, just what those men needed: women owning themselves and making a universal point. Hats off to their bravery. We need to shake things up.
