Femen world out look:

• 'We live in the world of male economic, cultural and ideological occupation.' ' Woman is a slave.' 
• They want to take ownership back over there bodies.
• 'Complete control over women's bodies is the key instrument of her suppression; The woman's sexual demarche is the key to her liberation'. 

Femen's Goal :

• Complete victory over patriarchy.

I personal think that this group is a bit extreem , not in there actions but beliefs.  They belive that Sextrimism is a vital way of wining the war of the sexes , but I think that no extrisim of any kind is working for the betterment of both sides involved.  And I think that there views are strictly women orientated which is really good but for society to be fair and equal both sides need to cooperate equally and i think that there beliefs are the opposite of this. There actions of walking around topless I think is a bold and brave move as women chests have been sexualized , but as have men. However when men walk around topless it is not a big issues. Happens regularly in public places like swimming pools, beaches and in the streets. How ever when women do this it is seen as wrong , disturbing and offensive. Why?! there was the whole scandal over breast feeding in public and how some people found it offensive. I am starting to get the sense that the female body has become throughout out all of society and definitely in some religions a sacred object. The word OBJECT again goes against what feminist beliefs are. A women should be allowed and the have the option to be free and have control over her own body. This could be a really key point which I want to focus more around. As there are many accounts of women bodies being objectified and judged within society and religon. Female genial mutilation,  being disallowed to breast feed in public , choosing to have a baby without a male counterpart. I need to investigate into these subjects more.
