French feminists stage protest half-naked at Musée d'Orsay

Extreme feminists' rage is every man's worst nightmare. The Musée d'Orsay in Paris got a taste of it when radical feminists protested shirtless at the museum's entrance, in reaction to a woman who was denied entry for showing too much skin.

22-year-old student, Jeanne, had visited the Musée d'Orsay last Tuesday, but was told she needed to cover-up her body before being allowed in.

Arriving at the entrance of the museum, I don't have time to take out my ticket before the sight of my breasts and my appearance shocks an officer in charge of reservations                     -Jeanne narrated on her Twitter page. 

In a CNN interview, Jeanne said the museum staff told her that a visitor could be denied entry because they are “wearing an outfit susceptible to disturbing the peace.” She later had to put on a jacket before she was granted entry.

She wrote an open letter, which quickly gain grounds on social media, with support mostly coming in from feminist groups.

In order to make their voices heard, around 20 feminists from FEMEN, a women's rights movement, marched to the entrance of Musée d'Orsay on Sunday in support of Jeanne.

MES SEINS NE SONT PAS OBSCÈNES !
Avec cette action au @MuseeOrsay, ns réaffirmons que notre torse n’est pas obscène et que ns soutenons Jeanne et toutes les femmes victimes de discrimination sexiste.
Stop à la sexualisation du corps des femmes ! #FEMEN #ORSAY

They repeatedly chanted and wrote on their breasts "our breasts are not obscene."

However, the museum released a statement later on Sunday, apologizing to the woman.

We learned of an incident with a visitor when she entered the Musée d'Orsay. We regret it profoundly and apologise to the affected person we contact.             -the statement reads.
