To be fair, they never go for unprotected paintings, they mostly go for maximum outrage and visibility. I've talked to a Femen a few years ago (a Russian, exiled in France), asked why they go for visible but ultimately non-actionable acts, and basically her response was something like 'We want to shock the most bigoted, idiotic persons you know, so that they will talk about us to people without strong opinions at their family diners. You can't have real change even with strong words like "women are raped in their own bed" (it was waaaaay before Peniquot) if nobody is opposing you. We create an opposition to make our voice louder'. Or something like that, I mostly remember the last sentence.
