Still, I can’t

help feeling is that acting or supporting actions without explicit consent is wrong. And what we activists, especially feminist activists, want to expose, often, is that there is nothing someone can do that makes them deserve to be sexually harrassed. And that rape culture is what teaches us that people’s actions make them deserve sexual attention that they don’t consent to. So if you stand by that, I don’t know that this is as great as it first seems.

Maybe this is a subversion of rape culture, and a reappropriation of the sexual violence of the G20 into something joyous and reaffirming. But I think we need to think about whether this kind of tactic succeeds, and why, and where these types of responses are coming from, what kind of ideology makes them occur.
