A viral video from Paris is taking the internet by storm, showcasing a topless protest by the left-liberal community on Women’s Day 2025. The demonstration, aimed at opposing fascism and patriarchy, has sparked widespread debate. In the circulating viral video, protesters can be seen taking to the streets of Paris, with many questioning whether this is an effective way to make a statement. While some applaud their stand for feminism, others criticise the act as controversial and unnecessary.
The viral video was first uploaded on X (formerly Twitter) by Prakash K Ray. He captioned it, “The left-liberal community in Europe has gone mad. Scene from yesterday's demonstration against fascism in Paris.” The footage shows activists from FEMEN, a well-known feminist group, taking part in the topless protest to oppose fascism.

The demonstrators, participating in Women’s Day 2025, had provocative symbols painted on their bodies, including the American and Russian flags and a swastika. Their primary demand was a feminist Europe, free from what they consider oppressive structures. The protest has ignited social media discussions, with many expressing shock over their bold approach.
As the viral video continues to spread, it has sparked intense reactions across social media. Many users are debating the effectiveness of such a protest. One commenter questioned, “How do I say retarded in French?” Another wrote, “Getting out of NATO can’t happen soon enough.”
Some critics believe the topless protest does not contribute positively to the feminist movement. A user stated, “I don’t understand how this helps the cause of women! They are pathetic!” Others pointed out that such protests could be counterproductive to the very message the left-liberal activists are trying to convey.
The left-liberal demonstrators argue that their protest is a powerful statement against fascism and patriarchy. However, opponents claim that such acts may overshadow the actual message of gender equality and women’s rights. The Women’s Day 2025 protest has once again raised questions about the methods used in activism and whether shock value is necessary for attention.
