Femen, SlutWalks, Lysistrata | Body Politics Is On the Move

Note | Nudity Sexual Politics and Body| Beauty|Culture converge in Germany’s Spiegel’s ‘The Entire Ukraine Is a Brothel’. In fact, we should throw in World’s Women, too, given the level of poverty in the Ukraine. I try to keep World’s Women suitable for prime-time viewing, not that the many friends of AOC in Arab and African countries have any problem with our politics and exploration of nudity, sensuality, religion and patriarchy throughout our content.
The personal is political, no matter how much Phyllis Schlafly hates the term. Who hasn’t seen the ads for ‘Romantic Tours’ to the Ukraine? Spiegel shares one story.
Win a Bride
Recently the Rock, New Zealand’s top radio station that doesn’t take much seriously besides music offered its male listeners 12 paid nights in the Ukraine, 2,ooo New Zealand dollars in pocket money and the chance to find a wife.
“Win a trip to beautiful Ukraine,” announces the contest title, “And Meet Eastern European Hot Lady Who Maybe One Day You Marry.” The Rock hooked up with Endless Love Agency and initially called the contest ‘Win a Wife’.
The contest logo shows the pixelated face of a bleach-blonde beauty. Her hair is adorned by a red headband, with a gift tag hanging from it as if she were a Christmas present.
