Naked protest
I'm adamantly opposed to the idea of invading Iraq, for moral, political and realpolitikal reasons. And like many people from all political stripes, I frequently complain about how Americans are too "apathetic" about "the issues of today" -- and how they won't get off their asses and do something about it. I'm a crank. I mean, I can be so insufferably earnest about this stuff that you'd want to punch me out.
But, I gotta admit, even I was wondering about the, uh, utility of this latest protest: "West Marin Women Strip For Peace."
Apparently, a few dozen women in West Marin County stripped to the bare essentials yesterday to spell out the word PEACE on a damp, slightly rainy field. Of the photo of the event, the organizer said:
"I’m hoping it gets distributed so that the message gets across that women in America want peace," said Clarkson. "I want to do everything I can to stop the war that’s impending."
Marshall resident Donna Sheehan, who organized the group called "Unreasonable Women" for the photo, said she’s been pondering for four years a way women can "be heard on a very deep level."
(The photo is by Art Rogers; the item comes courtesy Plastic, where there's a predictably hilarious discussion going on. "If this is peace," as one wit wrote, "call me a pacifist.")

I can see the link between naked protest and wearing furs, but I do'nt understand why protesting war on Iraq has to go naked. Would anybody kind enough to shed me light on this question?

It's because people pay attention when the protest involves nudity. If people protested fully clothed, everyone would ignore them.
Sex sells, my friend. And in our puritan based society, nudity is a real attention getter.
It doesn't matter what you do as long as you do it naked people will show interest.
That's just the way it is.
Be well

naked protest is a simple and direct political and philosophical action highlighting the absurdity and extent of our corrupted social programming and the uniformed state that enforces it. As Foucault pointed out: a culture's power structures depend largely on how we look and are looked at. Public nudity is a simple human statement that simultaneously invokes numerous important complexities. naked protest sept 2003
