You asked me to speak about feminism.<\/p>\n

So, I brought you something. What is this?<\/p>\n

Usually this is simply a panty. But today it is not. Today, after that in an Irish court of justice was brought forward the argument that a woman who wears a thong is open for sexual encounters and therefore the claim of rape can be excluded, today this is an invitation to violence!<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that something like this happens. In 1998 in Italy a judge sentenced that a young girl couldn\u2019t be victim of a rape because she was wearing blue jeans. Now every year on May 27th women from all over the world remember this incredible fact wearing blue jeans on the \u201cDenim day\u201d.<\/p>\n

Because we do not forget.<\/p>\n

But we have to admit that times, they are not changing.<\/p>\n

Now the question is: do we have to talk about violence when we speak about feminism? For many years I didn\u2019t think so. I thought that there were other important issues I could work and fight for:<\/p>\n
