		<description>i am a guy from istanbul, i am turkish. our society is not an open society, we have roots to middle east and i admit that we have some rude guys living in istanbul or other parts of turkey. AND, if we consider from the other side; i except that mini skirts or some other sexy clothing makes a woman happier because she gets some attention, and lives her gender. but the russian or east european girls can go beyond the border sometimes. i have been to Antalya in turkey last summer and the girls from the east europe were dancing on the dancers platform just to attract more attention and they do it! the Femen organization has held their protest at the turkish embassy but this is not about an ethnical problem, in usa most women do not wear mini skirts so the man are not used to that vision too. Be ROMAN in ROME, means your culture is not others culture, so they will not consider like u consider it.</description>

		<description>Dina, Slavic women are anything but trashy.

They are truly wonderful women who actually embrace their femininity instead of embracing obesity, masculinity and man bashing like Western feminists do.

Also last I checked, feminine dressed women get the attention and dates while feminist dressed women fume over classy and sexy dressed women taking away &quot;their&quot; men.</description>

		<description>While I think that FEMEN has brilliant aims and I love how strikingly different their methods of protest are from traditional women&#039;s rights groups, I have to massively agree with Gregory on one point.

&quot;But then again, I could never understand the psychology of women who parade around half naked and get offended if men react sexually to their hypersexual behavior!&quot;

While I am not at all condoning street harassment or sleazy men in general, it seems difficult to argue against the fact that *in general*, the more skin you show off, the more provocative you are dressing.

My personal opinion is that if a woman does dress with less (or smaller) clothes in public, in any country, they should definitely expect more attention from hot blooded men.  Men are very visual creatures, and if you are not prepared to have someone stare at your legs, don&#039;t leave them exposed in public, and the same goes for absolutely every part of your body.  If you are comfortable with people appreciating your body, then go for it.

Of course, I also completely agree with &quot;if it’s not yours, do not touch&quot;.  If you are touched in an inappropriate manner because of a foolish person&#039;s assumptions, do not hesitate to make it very clear how you feel about this.  Possibly involving the palm of your hand and their cheek.</description>

		<description>Lara,

As someone who enjoys flattering her own figure, I gotta say this sounds like sour grapes to me. Maybe with a dash of some religious fundamentalism/evo psych babble. 

&quot;Common prostitute?&quot; Gotta work a little bit of that hate against sex-workers in there as well!

People like you make me sad.</description>

		<description>You wrote &quot;There’s nothing wrong with women who dress provocatively. It’s our style.&quot;

Oh, but there IS something desperately wrong with women who dress provocatively. And your &quot;style&quot; is the style that is recognized world-wide as being what a common prostitute would wear. Especting to dress provocatively, and not provocate men, is so irrational it&#039;s painful and makes me ashamed to be a woman. You are exploiting yourselves and other women in your country. Only when you stop the &quot;provocative&quot; dressing will the world stop seeing your country as one big brothel.</description>
