While women in the United States have been sticking it to the patriarchy by dressing up as handmaids from Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Dr. Victoria Bateman, an economics fellow at Cambridge University, is choosing instead to go naked to protest, well, everything.
Bateman was on “Good Morning Britain” Tuesday — naked, of course — to protest Brexit and argue that it’s “the emperor’s new clothes.”

It was just last week that Bateman captured the attention of Twitter by posting a full-frontal nude video to Twitter with the words “My Body, My Choice” written on her chest and abdomen in marker, along with the message:
There is *so* much to be gained by challenging the notion that women’s bodies are sinful – & by standing up to the presumption that if a woman’s body is on show, she is trashy, stupid, worthless & deserving of less respect. That’s why I for one will *not* be told to cover up.
Fine, don’t cover up. We chose not to embed the tweet (it’s still up — click at your own risk), but the responses were pretty universal.

Oh honey, you really should cover up. This is not having the effect you desired.

I don't mind if you don't cover up but get a razor … somethin'. Sheesh.

Ma’am with all due respect you might want to do a little landscaping if you don’t want to cover that up.

That anyone, save Islamists, believe the “notion that women's bodies are sinful” is a false premise.
That you would make such an embarrassing spectacle of yourself to destroy your own imagined strawman is pitiable.
It’s all about infanticide bloodlust. I’m praying for you?

I just looked at her page, it’s full of naked Vicky. She’s an exhibitionist with a justification. Sad.

I believe you’re exactly right

I am done with Twitter for a while. Thank you

Bateman’s not done with you, though:
Based on the responses to my protests, it's fine to be naked if you're silent – & for sex. But, use your body to deliver an important political message (so, for something other than sex/babies!), & you're a disgrace/unfeminist/trashy/stupid/communist. The logic? Any inferences? pic.twitter.com/X2NsYnsWzQ
