FEMEN is quickly becoming one of the most recognized and least understood activist groups in the world. That’s the unfortunate consequence of its using the bare breast as the primary method of communication. The trademark of the group — which concerns itself often, but not exclusively, with women’s issues — is one of topless, screaming women, usually with black messages scrawled across their chests. The legibility of those messages rarely makes it past the pixilation process.
