On Sunday, the brave women of FEMEN attempted to disrupt an anti-gay marriage march in Paris by taking off their tops, putting on nun habits, and spraying protesters with canisters labeled "SPERM." Some of the protesters fought back with punches, kicks, and jets of mace, but the skirmishes only lasted a few minutes.
These are sad events, but we're always inspired by the passion and courage of FEMEN's members, even if we think they shouldn't have sprayed people with fake sperm and thrown flour at them. Part of us wants to empathize with the homophobes--nobody wants to have things thrown at them by counter-protesters--but their truly heinous violence prevents us from doing so. A bunch of journalists were also abused by the right-wing marchers, so again, they're not making themselves look too good to anyone.
