    Hanna, they ARE organized Just not the way you would expect
    Here is their official site - http://femen.org/
    And here is one of the links from their official site - FEMENSHOP | Официальный магазин FEMEN-товаров. Поддержи за сиськи!
    Description say - official shop of FEMEN goods
    Topic says - "support the tits" but it is also a wordplay
    поддержи за сиськи - means "support the tits"
    подержи за сиськи - means "touch the tits" and they kinda encouraging - http://femenshop.com/images/siskaslide.jpg

    Also please notice that FEMEN is Ukranian group and they usually protest in Ukranian language but their sites are all in Russian,
    cause Russian speaking auditory is much bigger than Ukranian which again, gives you more clicks on banners

    One could consider it to be a bit of a shame, like Throbert mentioned (Penn state it's not).. If there is a worthwhile cause to be championed, some power that needs fighting, then it's like the old story of the Boy who Cried Wolf.. One would want to save the chance to protest, so that they are taken seriously when something really important happens..

    .. But on the other hand - you go into work every single day, right? And if you work at FEMEN, what do you really do with your time? I'm assuming a lot... but given enough time on your hands, you'd probably plan something even if there's not a dire, heroic need for it... maybe that's all that's happened here - a lot of energy on the planning side, but not a lot of purpose on the function side... anyway, just my thoughts.. thanks for sharing, Hanna!

    So, your saying is you can't take women's bodies seriously. See, now you're being sexist. =)
