Ukrainian Women Are Protesting Russia’s Involvement In Crimea By Refusing Russian Men SexMany Ukrainians have boycotted Russian goods in protest of the Crimean annexation. This rebelliousness reached a whole other level last week when a group of Ukrainian woman decided that what they should really be boycotting are Russian men. According to The Atlantic, the “Don’t Give It to a Russian” campaign urges Ukrainian women on Facebook to “fight the enemy by whatever means” and withhold having sex with Russian men. The organizers are selling t-shirts featuring a pair of clasped hands in the shape of a vagina, and a slogan from an old Ukrainian poem that reads:
All of the proceeds from the t-shirt sales will go to the Ukrainian army.
The campaign went viral on the Russian Internet last Sunday, just a few days after its launch. Much of its Internet traffic, though, can be attributed to sexist insults from Russian bloggers and a post from the editor of a Russian nationalist website calling the group members prostitutes. Two of the group’s organizers are feminist media professionals Katerina Venzhik, chief editor of news website Delo.UA, and Irina Rubis, CEO of business website Ekonomika Communications Hub. The viral photo of Venzhik and Rubin was taken at an event hosted by Delo.UA in which Venzhik announced the finals of the website’s “Top 100 Businesswomen of Ukraine,” according to Global Voices. Sex boycotts in the name of politics have long been implemented by women from all over the world, with the most recent example being the group of Tokyo women threatening not to sleep with any man who voted for a Gubernatorial candidate who said that women are unfit for high-powered positions because of menstruation. via The Atlantic, Photos Courtesy: Facebook, Top photo Dez Info |
