They were handpicked and run a group orchestrated by a man who insisted only "hot bitches" could participate. "Chubby chicks" were kicked out because they didn't fit the image. So for the person whose idea of feminism is limited to the Playboy Mansion, then they are ideal. But for those of us concerned with women's rights, we don't like the pretense. They didn't work for women's rights. They indulged a Russian oligarch's fantasy of topless hot chicks running around the street--sort of like the live version of the threads in the men's group. Whatever that is, it sure as hell isn't about women's rights.
