Video: Topless Femen protester abducts Baby Jesus from Vatican Christmas display

      The antipatriarchal protest group Femen has struck again.

      On Christmas Day, a topless woman with the words "God is woman" emblazoned across her chest ran into the nativity scene at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.

      Her goal? Nothing less than to kidnap the statue of Baby Jesus to demonstrate Femen's opposition to the Catholic Church's teachings on homosexuality and abortion.

      She was promptly arrested.

      Femen, which began in Ukraine in 2008, has engaged in these types of demonstrations for several years to protest against patriarchy, organized religion, and political tyranny.

      Last year, a Femen member was attacked by a pious churchgoer after she held a topless protest during Christmas Mass inside the main cathedral in Cologne, Germany.

      Apparently feminists don't respect property---unless it is their own body, then how dare anyone touch it without their consent!

      Yadda
