Topless Women Protest ‘Climate Rape’ in London on International Women’s Day
[BREITBART] A group of 31 women formed a topless human chain in London to protest against climate change on International Women’s Day.
I like boobies as well or better than the next man, but I can't quite get this compulsion to flash the darlins in public.
Members of the climate change alarmist group Extinction Rebellion (XR) took off their shirts on Waterloo Bridge, blocking traffic in an protest against the supposedly disparate impact that climate change has on women. The protestors painted slogans on their chests such as "climate rape" and "climate murder".
"Climate change" (global warming, nuclear winter, continental drift, that sort of thing) effects everyone the same. Really, it's not gender-conscious. So what they're really saying is "Nobody suffers like we do."
A former teacher who took part in the protest, Sarah Mintram, explained the rationale behind the topless protest, saying: "It’s mainly women in poorer countries in the global south that are experiencing the increase in violence but this will be the reality for all women if the climate and ecological crisis continues to go unaddressed."
But what's that have to do with the boobs? Most rational people have to strain pretty hard to see any connection between climate fluctuation and thumping women.
"We are here to raise the alarm about what is happening to our sisters around the world and to tell women in the UK the climate and ecological emergency is your issue ‐ it will affect you as a woman if we do not persuade our government to take urgent action starting now," Mintram told the Metro.
So the speaker, who has milk duds rather than credentials, gives us the same "How dare you!" holler Greta Thunberg belched before the UN General Assembly.
Extinction Rebellion cited a January 2020 report from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, which claimed that climate change was responsible for violence against women in the Southern Hemisphere.

#3 I never quite understood the relationship between tatas on display and the protest movement de jour. I've never heard anyone say: Please, please, please hide them or take them away, I'll do whatever you say!

#5 Global warming should be good for boobs because you can take them outside more. Fresh air, vitamin D, and all that.

#7 JohnQC, figured it out.

It's an Alpha male, disguised as a soyboy, telling his activist gurl friend that "Hey, this would be a GREAT idea!"
