Grace Collier claimed the Australian Prime minister has been showing to much boob in Federal Parliament.
Serial protagonist, writer, scholar, Jennifer Wilson had an idea over on her blog No place for Sheep :-
Solidarity via cleavage and lots of it, so #convoyofcleavage was born at the instigation of Ms Bailey Woof.
Why should we do this, and what will it achieve we asked Jennifer?
She advised:-
Yes, this exercise is entirely frivolous and will achieve nothing. Yes, I expect we will be gored by Helen Razer (after Baudrillard) for our mindless capitulation to empty symbolism. Though as that lady recently posted an image of her own cleavage, struggling to escape an appallingly tasteless pink brassiere as she held aloft the dripping carcass of a Peking duck, maybe not.
The hashtag has made the news in the UK Daily Mail, India, China (Aust users load up burst milk photos)* , and was a very non-serious response to a rather stupid comment.

Now some people didn't really think this was appropriate behavior, and the usual fighting and arguments started of what feminism really means
Veronica Foale and Kim Foale Thought being told how to be a feminist was all a bit silly, and the feminist police had got their Do Martins in a twist. My words, not theirs :-)
So they started the #Iamnotaproperfeminist hashtag with some quite funny results. Australian humour, you have to love it.
Finally, if there is one picture that sums it up, I have to give credit to the brave Jess Ovenden
* This seems to have disappeared, a classically fine bit of mistranslation I had thought :-(
Final Thoughts?..back to Jennifer... Bite me Baby
