Would you take part in a mass naked lie down demo to highlight the erasure of women's rights?

There's a small rumble on Twitter suggesting this as a way of women showing our vulnerability and refusal to be pushed aside. And a shock tactic obviously. Would you take part?

Man Friday really got a lot of backs up, didn't they? Maybe a mass Man Friday as pp suggested. Self-IDing as men could also involve not having time to do wifework, Iceland-style.

@Bluntness100

This sort of shit sets women back decades and the fools who suggest it should be deeply ashamed,

You don’t see men saying, oh I know, let’s get our cocks out and protest, they manage to do it with their cocks fully covered..

But there is always some one suggesting women get their tits out to do it. Always.

At what point in time will this shit stop? When will it stop being suggested we get our tits out to make a statement? Because most women are pig sick of this fucking suggestion that we need to show some t&a to get our issues taken seriously.

The whole thing is so contradictory. Want to be taken seriously girls? Get yer tits out. That’ll do it.

Like hell it will. This stuff needs to stop. Now.

This.

Ever seen a naked man protest?

slinger888 · 02/08/2020 13:58

no

Bluntness100 · 02/08/2020 13:56

If it wouldn’t be a shameful women against women demonstration, and make it worse, I’d suggest we stand up and protest anyone stupid enough to get their tits out like this and try to pretend it’s about progressing women’s causes whilst doing the exact opposite, setting us back decades.

That we should protest it and tell them we have self respect and our words are enough. We don’t need to show t&a.

But that would just make the whole spectacle worse, I would sincerely hope anyone going on social media urging women to get their kits off and their tits out like this gets shot down as the women on this thread are standing up and practically unanimously doing.

I honestly can’t believe anyone in this day and age is still urging women to get their tits out to be heard. It’s just nauseating.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 02/08/2020 13:45

No. Bloody silly idea.

Sittinonthefloor · 02/08/2020 13:43

No! Why the hell would I do something that would make me so vulnerable to abuse online, damage my career, embarrass my dcs and make me cold. It’s the opposite of a feminist act imo.

Durgasarrow · 02/08/2020 13:42

Never never never.

@Floisme

Are you having a laugh? I wish to choose which men can see me naked, which is why I support retaining single sex spaces. I cannot believe I need to explain this.
This, exactly this.

@DialSquare

I would say definitely not, however, in my case, it could be used as a torture tactic. Start listening to us and I'll put my clothes back on!
Grin That made me chuckle!
NiceGerbil · 02/08/2020 13:36

No for all the reasons given

Novina · 02/08/2020 13:22

No.

Women should be able to stand up for their rights, to make political arguments, to be taken seriously without having to be naked. FFS.

Graffitiqueen · 02/08/2020 13:16

No

Alienin · 02/08/2020 12:53

Not on your nelly

Quillink · 02/08/2020 12:48

Nope. What sort of message would that send to our daughters? Take your clothes off to get noticed, just like they hear everywhere else in our pornified culture? We are worthy of being listened to with our clothes on thanks very much Hmm

Melroses · 02/08/2020 12:48

No

Getting noticed because you have no clothes on does not translate into anyone listening to what you have to say.

Especially for women. It might work for men?

BitMuch · 02/08/2020 12:46

No. We've got enough of a problem with upskirting, hidden cameras and revenge pornography without making it easy for them to put nude photographs of us online forever. Naked protests from either sex have always put me off. It will exclude more women than it attracts, especially as our movement champions the rights of women who do not want strange males to see us undressed.

Everyone I have talked to about these issues (working class women mainly, all ages) agrees with us and thinks it's common sense. Our voices need to be heard more, not our bodies seen more.

RoseTintedAtuin · 02/08/2020 12:40

No.
This undermines all of the respect gained for women over the years. A protest or refusal to undertake caring duties as pop’s have said is a much better way of drawing attention to the issues

DialSquare · 02/08/2020 12:40

@BaronEssoStation

Could one simply identify as naked?
And as a size 8
thehumanformerlyknownasfemale · 02/08/2020 12:39

No.

A big issue right now is women not wanting to be forced to undress in front of men, so why would I want to strip naked in the street for all to see? We're asking for dignity and respect, and whilst there's no shame in naked bodies, protesting naked would contradict what we're asking for.

EarlofEggMcMuffin · 02/08/2020 12:39

See when you suggest that, I think of my mother.
Would I want to subject her to the indignity of having to strip off, so that someone attends to her words?

Hell, no.

I think of my daughter...would I want her to learn that her words are not enough?

Hell, no.

I am enough and my words are enough..... and the failure to listen is not my fault, and I will not lower myself to protest in that way.
Hell no.
