WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- If you're seeing women dressed a bit more revealingly Monday, it could be they're taking part in the "boobquake," and effort to oppose comments by an Iranian cleric, WRTV-TV in Indianapolis reported.
The station said it started with a Purdue University student's attempt to poke fun at an Iranian cleric's contention that promiscuity and immodesty is responsible for earthquakes. It mushroomed into a cause that went viral, taken on by thousands of women.
Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, Tehran's acting Friday prayer leader, ignited controversy by linking tremors to the behavior of women.
"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Iranian media quoted Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi as saying.
Jen McCreight, a self-described "liberal, geeky, nerdy, scientific, perverted atheist feminist trapped in Indiana," and her cause, "Boobquake," is one of the top trending topics worldwide on Twitter and has amassed a Facebook following of about 50,000 people, with hundreds of thousands pledged to help the effort.
