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?

No. Definitely not. There'd be the usual mix of body shaming and objectifying wank bank posts. What would it achieve? Plus it's usually bleeding freezing or pissing down.

Like PP said - why do we have to be naked to get our point across? Are we not worthy of discussion if we're fully clothed? Is it really the only way to get derision attention? Like a toddler stripping off during a tantrum. Absolutely not.

Really? Ridiculous idea

Weather dependant.

Much as though my old raddled body would look really terrible, I think I would, but then I'm from the generation that did believe in direct action.

I think young women might be more up for this but they don't seem the sort nowadays????

Fucking hell no!

I agree with @WinnieLo. Far more effective solution.

timetest · 02/08/2020 11:39

Absolutely not.

TransScandal · 02/08/2020 11:38

No way

truthisarevolutionaryact · 02/08/2020 11:38

Why do women have to be naked before we are listened to? Ridiculous suggestion.

MrsWooster · 02/08/2020 11:38

No. Our vulnerability isn’t based on us being naked.

Hell no. Surely nobody wants their naked body out there in social media land. I'm not sure public indecency is the best way to get the point across to be honest.

Only if I can get an appt for a bikini wax first! 😆😆

WinnieLo · 02/08/2020 11:37

No.

I think it would be far better if women did not go to work. Did not make dinner.

Like in iceland in the 70s. All women simply downed tools and went on a march. Clothed. I think that's a much better idea.

Nope.

SheWhoMustNotBeHeard · 02/08/2020 11:36

No

christinarossetti19 · 02/08/2020 11:36

No. Not because of body consciousness issues, but because women are vulnerable and making ourselves more so by being naked won't change that.

SunsetBeetch · 02/08/2020 11:35

Absolutely not.

Naked? 👎
