A founding member of the feminist group Femen has died at the age of 31. Oksana Shachko has apparently taken her own life in her Paris apartment by hanging herself. She was of course not the real leader, for the real leaders were the financiers of Femen, the ones who provided the Ukrainian with an expensive Parisian apartment, the ones who set her up with a cushy career as an 'artist', where she could deconstruct Western culture to her handlers' hearts' content. Everything Femen has done has been contradictory and destructive. They have supposedly campaigned against sexual exploitation by exploiting their naked bodies, campaigned against dictatorship by having a strict unelected leadership, campaigned against religion by creating mock-iconography. And in this latter campaign, what have they done but deny women spirituality?
