The group pretended to urinate to show the government had turned into nothing more than a men’s room.<\/p>\n

The members of the Femen group – known for its brazen feminist stunts – squirted bottles of water and yellow liquid from their groins outside the government headquarters as a bemused line of police looked on.<\/p>\n

“To urinate standing is not a privilege,” said a banner held by one of the estimated 30 protesters. The police did not prevent the protest but also did not allow the women any further towards the government.<\/p>\n

The police, wrapped up against the winter cold, tried to repress their smiles as the scantily clad women squirted the liquid all over the pavement.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators were protesting after a cabinet reshuffle last week again left the government of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and President Viktor Yanukovych without a single female cabinet minister.<\/p>\n

“We think that the prime minister has mixed the cabinet of ministers up with a male lavatory and thus has forbidden entry to members of the ‘weaker’ sex,” Femen said in a statement.<\/p>\n
