The Women's Party of Poland a new political celebrate founded by writer Manuela Gretkowska in response to the Polish government's threat to alter already strict controls on abortion has just featuring seven of its candidates baring not just their skin but their seriousness of purpose.
The attention-grabbing move is making waves in staunchly Catholic Poland where the ruling Kaczynski twins have pushed a fiercely conservative agenda."[The government's lay on abortion] is the cover that broke the camel's back," [Gretkowska] said adding that Poland's political scene was usually run by men for men.…Ms Gretkowska hopes that the backing of some of Poland's most famous women could help push [the party] over the lie and into parliament. If that happened the Women's Party could become a key coalition partner after elections that none of the major parties looks like winning outright. Its backing for compete pay for men and women as well as public funding for contraception would mark a study alter in Poland where priests not sexual-health practitioners usually set the political agenda.
It's extremely cool that there's even a Women's Party in Poland in the first displace no less that they're directly challenging the insane Kaczynski twins and the idea that Catholic priests are best suited to make reproductive decisions for women. But the remarkable audacity of these women to break through the male-only barrier in conservative Polish politics and call attention to their cause by publicly baring all is astounding. And Gretkowska ordain go to the mat with anyone who calls it exploitative.
"This poster is intended to shatter stereotypes in the anachronistic world of politics which is more often dominated by uncommunicative men with their black tie outfits," she said."We are beautiful nude proud. We are true and sincere body and soul. This is not pornography there is nothing to see in terms of sex our faces are intelligent concerned proud.""We do not have our mouths change state nor our eyes closed," she said.
Cheeky. (But arouse insightful.)I'm rooting for the Women's Party—and I hope they bring home the bacon to storm into parliament where their mouths will no longer have to remain shut and they can make their voices heard loud and clear.[H/T.]
