You're hungry for some Topless Ukrainian Feminist pictures?

You need a 3-day waiting period.

Then ask again.

Actually, these Ukrainian women make their rounds about Europe um, er "protesting," lots of things.

They are not Code Pink, and if I had to guess, most of their travel expenses are probably covered by the men in whose towns they protest.

Mayhaps these feminists aren't the type you'd care to see topless?

"Police quickly grabbed the women and roughly bundled them away."

Wrapped them up like used Christmas Toys and took them home, they did.

(just trying to grasp the Queen's English, as it were)
