Original poster

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?

Naked? 👎

SunsetBeetch · 02/08/2020 11:35

Absolutely not.

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.

SheWhoMustNotBeHeard · 02/08/2020 11:36

No

ArriettyJones · 02/08/2020 11:36

Nope.

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.

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

tiredanddangerous · 02/08/2020 11:37

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.

MrsWooster · 02/08/2020 11:38

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

truthisarevolutionaryact · 02/08/2020 11:38

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

TransScandal · 02/08/2020 11:38

No way

timetest · 02/08/2020 11:39

Absolutely not.

BestestBrownies · 02/08/2020 11:40

Fucking hell no!

I agree with @WinnieLo. Far more effective solution.

highame · 02/08/2020 11:40

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????

HDDD · 02/08/2020 11:40

Really? Ridiculous idea

iklboo · 02/08/2020 11:41

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.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 02/08/2020 11:42

No. Mass lie down? Yes.

But I don't believe the most revolutionary thing a woman can do is take off her clothes.

Parker231 · 02/08/2020 11:42

No - would make them look ridiculous.

Etinox · 02/08/2020 11:42

Yes! I am quite the exhibitionist though and also think biology is at the crux of women's oppression.

VettiyaIruken · 02/08/2020 11:43

Absolutely not.

Staplemaple · 02/08/2020 11:43

No, I don't get the need to be naked, yes it might gather more attention, but not for the right reasons. It is sad that so many feel the only way we can be heard is to be naked.

PegasusReturns · 02/08/2020 11:43

Nope.

Marching would be a much more appropriate response.

Portnlemon · 02/08/2020 11:44

Mindblowing. No.

OvaHere · 02/08/2020 11:44

No. I doubt it would endear us to the public at large. Most people want to go about their day without being caught up in a mass throng of nudity no matter what the cause. I don't think it shocks people - just irritates them.
