Feminism // Sexual Revolution

In my book I want to include some information about feminism and how gradually after they had gained sexual liberation, they began to fight against it in a way.  A good example of this is fighting against pornography as feminists believed it encouraged men to hurt women.  It also gave men a false idea of what women look and act like in the bedroom.  Another example is the heartbreak that sleeping around caused and the loss of meaning in sex.  

As I think this is still a problem today with young people sleeping around I decided to make some posters in the style of how the protests signs were made in the sixties.  This poster features the feminist symbol and I came up with the slogan myself.  

I have now dotted many of these around hyde park.  Unfortunately I think the owner of a property where I plastered rather a lot must have taken them down.  I would have liked to guage peoples reactions to these posters.
