Writing on their website, StopPatriarchy.org, the group explains that their goal is to “FIGHT to STOP the enslavement of women.” The way to do that, according to the feminist group, is to fight against and destroy oppressors.
“Christian fascist woman-haters are violently hacking away at abortion rights and even birth control, slamming women backwards,” they explain.
Running from June 15 until June 19, the group is running a campaign in which its members will protest the “War on Women,” which they claim is escalating. Stop Patriarchy is pleading with its members on Tumblr to get a large piece of cardboard, draw a chalk outline on it in the shape of a body, then put “bootprints” on it naming things that oppress women and need to be destroyed.
