Turkish Protest Babes Defend Secularism

Filed under: Protest Babes

There is something we the women can't stand the most: religious fundamentalism, which denies our individual liberty. There is, in my opinion, a religion that oppresses the women more than all the others in the recent history: Islam. And its political wing, Islamism, is a totalitarian ideology that makes of oppression of the woman its raison d'etre.

That is why, the protest babes are always on the side of secularism, compared to the old, black-dressed Islamist women.

Turkey also has its protest babes, and they are there to defend secularism against the Islamist threat.

Whither The Protest Babes?

Normally this isn't a problem, but Yahoo! News doesn't have a single picture of a protest babe on either side. Neither Yanukovich nor Yushchenko have babe backing, and Tymoshenko doesn't have the protest appeal like she used to. That must mean that, indeed, Ukraine is in a true crisis.
