This is the kind of image typically associated with modern feminism because feminism has become this sex-obsessed movement in which women objectify themselves and expose their bodies freely rather than a movement that encourages women to take themselves seriously, present themselves with dignity, and make an impact in the world.
The way I see it, feminism shouldn't look like this at all. I'm not proposing we feel ashamed of our bodies or sexuality, but would a man be taken seriously if he walked around like this? This brand of feminism just reiterates the idea that women are bodies. I understand that this isn't the intention, but why would someone who wants to be appreciated and recognized for her mind walk around naked? Obviously, the point they're trying to prove is that women, no matter what they are or are not wearing, are not deserving of sexual assault. This is absolutely correct. I don't think women should present themselves with respect and dignity for the sake of men and their thoughts. This is offensive to both and women, as it assumes that women are sex objects and men are senseless pigs with no control over their thoughts. I think they should do it for themselves. They should do it because they take themselves seriously and they should use their voices to do something that matters.
