Stripping women bare in Kenya

Next fucking delightful activity from the men of the world: ganging together in public and stripping women naked whom they deem to be dressed inappropriately.

depressed its happening but hooray for the protests

I never understand the logic of the argument of those in opposition to the march who say "if a woman chooses to dress a certain way she has to realise that there are consequences" as if dressing a certain way is harming anyone.

I agree Amethyst. It's heartwarming to see both men and women objecting to this.

Hmmm. I'm a bit glass-half-full about this. I read the story as "Next fucking up-with-this-we-will-not-put activity from women in Africa challenging misogyny". Obviously it's disgraceful that it happened in the first place, but there's been a robust, well publicised protest, and that's something that our sisters in Africa might not have had the courage or resources to do ten years ago.

(Aside: I love the use of "sisters" in a feminist context, but I'm not sure how correct it is to use it?)

Ah, another piece of solid logic from the same school of thought that brought you " Ched Evans isn't a rapist and he'll prove it by raping you..."

Gits.
