Topless warriors start boot camp for global feminism

5. After thinking about it a few more days, there is an interesting power in what they are doing.

It's hard to imagine a more repressive act than police and military forcibly arresting topless protesting women. Call it patriarchical/cultures impact on me, but seeing the videos on the femen site of police in various countries cracking down on them was even more repulsive than typical police vs protester videos.

Thus, there is an interesting vulnerable/powerful dichotomy going on there. Topless women seem vulnerable. A police officer in riot gear arresting them seems exponentially more repressive than normal. This means they are going to generally get away with things that other protesters are not going to get away with. Very interesting stuff.
