to show up at one of these rallys and NOT expect to be photographed is very naive. To then complain about it on youtube is preposterous (unless the photog(s) in question were rude and intrusive beyond a reasonable level).
On the other hand, it was mentioned that in NYC this year, photogs also created some problems. I guess the issue here may be that, unlike the WNBR, women aren't moving and hence they have little power to escape the guys with cameras. Being able to move (and get away if necessary) really makes a difference for a woman and why they feel a lot safer on bikes.
That said, you should still have very little expectation of privacy here. After all, your intent is to generate media attention to your cause, and if you don't feel comfortable at a top free protest, how the hell are you going to feel comfortable in the top free world that you advocate!!!

She didn't like the fact that perverts (her words) were photographing her. What I found funny was that she was denying one right while advocating for the rights of another.
I don't know if they were crowding her like they did to the topless men and women at the gotopless event in nyc, but then nyc is a completely different place than Asheville, NC. Gotopless day at nyc was over the top this year. If I didn't know any better, and truth be told, I actually don't, I would have thought that many of the men there had never seen breasts before. I might understand getting crazy over beautiful coeds, but that's not what I saw there. Moira was by far the hottest, and probably youngest female there, until a few attractive girls decided to go topless long after the event was over.
