The slogans of the 80s youth movement were known for their tongue-in-cheek, irreverent humour. «WEG MIT DEN ALPEN - FREIE SICHT AUFS MITTELMEER = GET RID OF THE ALPS - FOR A CLEAR VIEW OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA» was one well known example. Of course we had no actual plans to "get rid" of the alps. Where would we put them? But this slogan managed to express our discontent with the status quo, our struggle for more freedom.<br>
<br>
«WEG MIT DEN ALTEN [WEISSEN MÄNNERN] - FREIE SICHT AUFS FRAUENMEHR = GET RID OF OLD [WHITE MEN] - FOR A CLEAR VIEW ON A WOMEN'S MAJORITY» is a riff on that slogan. It addresses the ongoing anti-feminist backlash (in its full range) and is meant as shout out to the feminist strike that has traditionally been happening on June 14th in Switzerland.<br>
<br>
While across the great ocean one much too powerful old white male will celebrate his birthday with a military parade in an effort to build his fascist regime, feminists in Switzerland are going to hit the streets to call for equal rights, bodily autonomy, an end to genocide and fascism, in an intersectional effort of connect forces with other movements – climate justice very much included, seeing as the aforementioned alps have now started to crumble on their own. <br>
