This little bit of supernatural thinking has been floating around the blogosphere today:
“Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,” Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media. Sedighi is Tehran’s acting Friday prayer leader.
I have a modest proposal.
Sedighi claims that not dressing modestly causes earthquakes. If so, we should be able to test this claim scientifically. You all remember the homeopathy overdose?
Time for a Boobquake.
On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts. Or short shorts, if that’s your preferred form of immodesty. With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake. If not, I’m sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn’t rumble. And if we really get through to him, maybe it’ll be one involving plate tectonics.
So, who’s with me? I may be a D cup, but that will probably only produce a slight tremor on its own. If you’ll be joining me on twitter, use the tag #boobquake! Or join the facebook event!

Believe it or not, men who wear clothes that are too tight are cruelly harassed. My ex told me that an Air Force soldier went out in Riyadh wearing a pair of super-tight jeans, and upon returning to the base, the soldier had to be hospitalized because Saudi men pinched his ass so hard. Pretty sick, eh?So go ahead, Sam. I want new china. ;)

I think it is the complete opposite of inappropriate. It is in fact a necessity. How are you going to get your chastity corrupted without photos?It is the age old question. If a tree fell over in the woods (next to a hot babe of some kind) would it make a noise (aside from probably startling the aforementioned hot babe) and would any young men be lead astray.

This is a great experiment and should be repeated many times in order to generate as much data as possible. And documented on film, of course.The learned cleric’s hypothesis has, however, already had an empirical test of sorts. If he were right, the most earthquake-prone places in the world would be Scandinavia and eastern Europe, while the most quake-free region would be the Middle East. Since it’s actually the other way round, maybe the real cause of earthquakes is wearing beards and turbans and talking nonsense.

Good luck – we applaud you for mammarian contributions to science. Now what magnitude of boobquake are you aiming for? If your magnitude target is met or exceeded that day I’ll suggest your group immediately qualify for the second round of the Million Dollar Challenge. Sure an Iranian may have come up with the idea, but the money goes to the person or people who actually demonstrate the claim. The live telecast of the MDC would also likely be a huge draw to the boob tube.

Congratulations, I think this is an ingenious piece of consciousness-raising. A mass display of total nudity in front of a mosque would be even better. I’ll just have to get over my dislike of the loathsome word ‘boobs’ — it seems to me redolent of the incomprehensible American obsession with large ones. Small breasts are so much prettier, just as ‘breasts’ is a much prettier word than (ugh) ‘boobs’. But any size should serve the admirable purpose of ridiculing offended Muslims.

My dear Ms McCreight, let me start by saying that I approve whole heartedly of your intentions. My only quarrel is in the logistics of such a scheme.First and foremost, you risk venturing into the realm of comedy, from that of the serious airing of grievance. Women have had, and continue to demonstrate great skill and aplomb in the latter, from the suffragettes to great modern heros such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali.But as I was telling Alessandra Stanley in Vanity Fair, the realm of humour is dominated by men and their imitators; lesbians and the butch.I would greatly donate my ample moobs to your cause, but this would rather defeat the purpose – the blame for geological activity falling squarely upon women. I am a man. This leaves you with only the option of serious activism.As much as I loathe the profound sexual repression that one finds in Islam, I think a liberal attitude to dress, as an approach to serious protest is doomed.Men will drool, as they do. In a way reminiscent of what an Australian Islamic spiritual leader referred to as the attraction of cats to exposed meat.This serves to both undermine the seriousness which you as a woman, must and can muster. This serves to confirm the worst prejudice of Islamic misogyny.And at any rate, I’m not sure that I’ll be in your part of the world in time for a first-hand ogle. Which as a man, you can imagine I’m inclined to want.

the incomprehensible American obsession with large ones. Small breasts are so much prettier So they are, but recognition of this fact is hampered by the meme that men who like small breasts are closet paedophiles. One American even wrote a book inter alia suggesting that the preferred sexual object of such men is the napalmed Vietnamese girl in that infamous photograph. I’ve encountered the same thing in my own country. So I think some of the vulgar male honking about large breasts may possibly be a self-protection strategy; rather than (or as well as) reassuring one another that they’re not gay, they are reassuring their local witch-hunters that they’re not lusting after prepubes. Of course, the Silencing Technique here is to accuse male victims of making all this up; so citation from above-mentioned book on request.

I am interested to hear about the apopleptic frenzy caused by such a mass onslaught of cleavage that is to be brought upon this planet not just by the Islamic world but of other religions too. I have got the impression that the other faiths of this world complain hysterically that they are the ones being picked on when parts of their faith are being brought into question and that “you wouldn’t say to a person of Islamic faith” is the standard retort.Now I imagine there will be complaints that you are not picking on the other faiths and that Islam is being singled out! :)I think this is a fantastic idea, I wish all you women and your amazing chests the most tremendous of adventures – my male boobs are not big enough so they will have to sit this one out!

I dunno, I’m pretty sure Sedighi said its the adultery that causes earthquakes, not the boobs per se. His hypothesized causal chain is boobs->horny young men->loss of chastity->adultery->earthquakes. It seems quite likely, ahem, that the boobs will lead to horny young men, but it’s less clear that you’ll get all the way to the adultery. Especially since, as I understand it, you aren’t married, right? So you can fornicate, but not commit adultery.Certainly there would be some married women participating via Twitter, but it seems outside the scope of this experiment to ask them to have sex with someone other than their spouse. Nope, I think the “Boobquake” is doomed to failure. But please, by all means, don’t let me discourage you!

It’s your right to be as silly as you want, quite obviously. And I think it impossible for you to be as silly as the woman-hating demagoguery that you (we) oppose.However, permit me to put to you the idea that this can be done seriously.The female form, as it has been represented by our less than esteemed cleric, resonates a great deal in the west. We have our own throwbacks who see women as culpable in their own rapes, and we have women enabling them.There is a modern puritanism that apes this brutish tyranny, in so far as your protest could be viewed as beneath respect – even by so-called progressives. Yet there is nothing inherently wrong with what you plan to do.But imagine, if you will, the female form as it has been represented in marble throughout the ages. Imagine a mother breast-feeding her child.While prudery still does exist towards this imagery, it is far more marginal in The West than that directed at a low-cut blouse. What kind of monster could find fault in a babe sucking at his mother’s teat?We’re mammals!If it were at all possible to harness something this transcendent, I think you could really expose the full extent of misogyny, and insanity, of our friend the prayer leader.Something worth your thinking about, I hope.Now if you can excuse me, I think I’m turning into Martin Amis. Yes. Hands starting to glow. Damn Daleks.

You certainly have a good point. And as an artist, I do enjoy your idea of using more transcendent imagery. I didn’t intend to imply that all images must be of hyper-sexualized, “skanky,” scantily clad women. I plan on wearing a shirt that I would wear normally on any other day – and even that would offend these types of men. Hell, I’d probably offend them just by wearing my favorite pair of shorts, and those go down to my knees!Maybe this could have been better thought out as a tactic, but to be honest, it was mostly a hair-brained joke I quickly put on my blog. Never thought it would take off.

Just a thought – what if there is a God but he’s a bit of a party animal & not at all prudish like this guy makes out? What if he was looking down at Iran & thinking “Boring bunch of grumps. I know – I’ll shake ‘em up a bit, see what happens!” – What if the small number of hotties on view were all that was keeping him from wiping them out & starting over?Just saying – I’m actually a complete atheist but hey, if they will believe in a God, why not believe in a fun one?

But what if it creates two earthquakes, with the waves and the troughs of them align, so it’s like no earthquake at all?You need multiple locations. Some locations where everyone is dressed modestly. Others where everyone is dressed immodestly. Still more with women dressed immodestly. And lastly men dressed immodestly.Does the “everyone dressed modestly” count as a control or do we need “everyone naked” and “no people” as well?

It’s possible the quake may occur somewhere else in the universe, and we won’t even notice it. g(G)od is not a very accurate shot. It could also happen 200 years from now. I mean, Haiti’s pact with the devil was in, like, 1791 or something.rowr. boobs.

Also, since the Supernatural is completely capricious, there is no reason to think that the earthquake will be in the region of the immodesty – the earthquake may very well happen (in fact, is more likely to happen) someplace else in the world. So, do you really want the guilt of inducing an earthquake in, say, Istanbul?

I’m not with Richard on this one. It seems to me that a display of female mammaries only furthers the idea that women get attention by showing skin instead of showing brains. Really, what will this accomplish beyond having a bunch of men step on their tongues when viewing atheist breasts? This whole sell-our-cause-with-female-nudity gambit (beloved of PETA and some atheist websites) may be funny, but in the end seems a bit dreary and even degrading to women.

Maybe it’s more like a controlled burn sort of thing. Like, if you keep them locked up all the time, then you get an 8 or a 9 on the Richter scale whenever the finally do pop out. So if that’s the case, we don’t need just one episode to disprove it. Rather, we need a boob day once a week, at the least.

Although I usually find myself in agreement with Jerry Coyne, I think that you can do it, without any demeaning associations. But I do think that you should put a lot of attention to getting the experiment as scientific as possible: do the tremors obey an inverse square law or does it work via contact magic etc. ?…:) That would be a way to show your brains as well…:) Otherwise, I am all in favour of bringing giving sex and sensuality its due as sex is what is so difficult for our ever-so-religious brethren to come to grips with.

Well, sir, It’s a side issue, but nursing moms get no respect either. I was one of the ones given the Rotten Tomato reward by New Jersey Monthly Magazine in 1980 for being involved in a “nurse-in” at a local shopping mall. It’s a long story, but we had to bring signs, because we just looked like women with babies and rumpled shirts, and still there was a big hoopla. Only a Madonna, it seems, can actually be seen to feed her offspring as nature intended.The whole idea that I should cover up because men might be led astray is deeply offensive, and I guess that’s the bottom line.

While your instinct for a world free from violence is noble, your chosen action is a form of deliberate violent antagonism. Violence begets more violence. Ignorance must be overcome not dominated by force. Your antagonism draws unhelpful attention to yourself and looks more like a call for unhealthy narcissistic supply than a principled agenda. Have you stopped to think at whose expense this attention will come? If you truly care about women, stopping aiding those who hate by giving them a larger target and a living excuse to rationalize their oppression. Before they had only a myth, but now they have you to hate. You play into their hands by becoming their misogynistic object and put women further at risk.

How is this violent antagonism? It’s a humorous way to expose the nutty-ness of an Iranian cleric who is probably a distant relative to Pat Robertson. A woman’s modesty/sexuality is *not* responsible for earthquakes, social immorality, any action by men, or anything else.

What you fail to realize is that the scientist was being truthful, breasts do cause earthquakes… the issue is one of causality. You are not causing an Earthquake in the future, you are causing one in the past. Breasts are quantum anomalies and those people in the 1900s you killed are angry, the way I would be if you killed me. I always get angry when people kill me. But of course, seeing your breasts would make my death slightly more bearable, even though they resemble other breasts I have seen in the past, and even though they killed my great great grandfather.

“If you truly care about women, stopping aiding those who hate by giving them a larger target and a living excuse to rationalize their oppression. Before they had only a myth, but now they have you to hate. You play into their hands by becoming their misogynistic object and put women further at risk.” I am sorry, but this is completely disingenuous. The fanatical and reactionary clerics (of all stripes) hate women because women remind them of their own sexuality and because they (= the clerics, that is) are irrational and scientifically illiterate. So, you suggest accepting their repressive attitude to sex and sensualitywould make things better?!…:)

I hate to be picky or repeat what someone else may have said but Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi only said that immodest women cause earthquakes indirectly by causing adultery. So a more sensible experiment would be a day of mass sexual deviance. Though I can see why this would be a lot harder to organise…

If you have the wrong information, you solve the wrong problem. (Bucky Fuller). It’s NOT god (the masculine cosmic archetype) getting angry and causing the earth to shake, but conversely Mother Gaia, quivering with delight as she sees her daughters proudly raising into their potential. It’s not about hate and fear, it’s about love. Don’t make it a shadow thing, celebrate women’s beauty and do it with love.

1- You designed the whole event based on wrong assumptions. You just quoted a part of his talk and interpreted that part incorrectly. And now you are gonna prove that you interpretation of what he said is wrong. Good luck with that! It doesn’t mean anything:”If not, I’m sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn’t rumble.”The explanation is easy: you disproved statement B, while you were trying to disprove statement A!2- If you correctly understand what they mean, you can still raise some serious questions, but they have already come up with the rational explanations for these questions! Rational with respect to how they defined the ways god punishes us for our sins!!! So, again, good luck with discrediting the way they defined actions of god (something that cannot be proved or disproved, when you cannot define vigorously god itself).3- Why are you thinking that these clerics are morons?!! Conversely, they are intelligent and know how to fool the real morons that follow them. If you wanna be helpful, you must find a way to educate those moron followers!

There’s nothing here that a few well-placed virgins wouldn’t fix.Have propoents of boobquake considered the potential catastrophic effects should enough boobs reach perigee at the wrong moment? Conservation of momentum would result in an increase in the earth’s rotational speed, thus possibly flinging all humans with sufficiently high centers of gravity off into space. Do women REALLY savor a world where the only potential mates are hunchbacks, Herve Villechaise clones, and Tom Cruise?

The only problem is we need to be specific about where the earthquake will happen, as there are several earthquake/seismic activity every day, but as they are small and arent devastating, it just goes unreported to the media and world public……unless those 10 earthquakes everyday of every week, month, year are caused but women who dont cover up. I think we need a cover up day and see if the amount of earthquakes per day drops. :)

Hey Marita,The control study would be hard to do. How do people know they’re dressing modestly? It’s easy to know when you’re being sexy, not so easy to know when you’re being un-sexy.Maybe people should all go for the head scarves , or even burqas.

The point is to disprove, through a rather simple test, that immodest women affect (effect? whatever) men in a lurid way and this causes earthquakes. So, you need both women willing to be immodest AND men willing to, well, enjoy it.Besides, who says science can’t be fun?Okay, the real object it to poke an idiot in the eye, to collectively laugh at his foolishness. I mean, any idiot can figure out that there are more women now, wearing less than before, tempting more men… the population has doubled the last 50 years after all, and earthquakes haven’t doubled. But… the guy is an idiot, and the best way to make fun of him is for everyone to have some FUN at his expense. What better way than to make his sermon on propriety an excuse for an International BoobQuake festival. It’s brilliant.So, lighten up.

Scientifically, you are correct. However, politically, your theories need a little work.Who cares about the earthquakes… the point is that some idiot’s sermon on propriety has caused an international festival of impropriety. The bigger this gets, the bigger the laughingstock this guy will be in the Islamic world. He’s a big fish in Iran, people listen to him, but they’ll hear the whole world laughing at him too. We all know this guy’s an idiot; maybe if this gets big enough, the people that listen to him will start to see him as an idiot too.I mean, it’s not likely to happen, but wouldn’t it be great if BoobQuake actually, really, toppled the clerics in Iran, fomented a revolution, or even just prodded it along a little? No, it wouldn’t be great, it would be TOTALLY AWESOME.This woman is a genius. She just might do what, oh, I don’t know … how many US Presidents (Commanders in Chiefs of the most powerful military in the world)?… have failed to do. Go Jen Go!

There is no way you can convince this old man that earthquake has its mechanisms( he already knows it) just as when a mean guy gets cancer and blames himself for “causing” it (he knows it is DNA and cell and radiation … which are causing it).

http://www.slate.com/id/224633…Long Live Democratic SeismologyChile survived its huge earthquake relatively well. Iran would be a different story.By Christopher Hitchens… “In Tehran, Iran’s capital, Dr. Bilham has calculated that one million people could die in a predicted quake similar in intensity to the one in Haiti.” (Italics added.) Tehran is built in “a nest of surrounding geologic faults,” and geologists there have long besought the government to consider moving the unprotected and crumbling capital, or at least some of its people, in anticipation of the inevitable disaster…. And what would happen to the secret nuclear facilities, both under the ground and above it? … what would the survivors think when they looked around the (possibly irradiated) ruins …… it should become part of our humanitarianism and our public diplomacy to warn the Iranian people of the man-made reasons that the results of a natural calamity would be hideously multiplied in their case. This, together with the offer of immediate help in earthquake-proofing, enhanced from our experiences in California, is nothing less than a moral responsibility. …

Without the necessary equipment pertaining to this grand experiment, I feel that I, and other similarly breastless males should find another way to help.To that end, I propose that males that are of the omni/cadaverous persuasions should eat bacon (or any other pork based produce although I feel bacon is the optimum product for this test). Vegans and veggies might want to eat some pork flavoured non-meat alternative and see how that goes. Gods generally appear to be rather stupid so they will likely fall for it!For the best effect, the bacon (or gammon, pork, etc) should be consumed with utmost relish and at the same time that the good (and bad) ladies are wearing their most revealing, salacious attire. In fact, for the purpose of this experiment, I feel it would be most efficient for the males to eat the bacon whilst observing and being stimulated by said females. For maximum effect, the women should *also* be eating bacon.Bring it!

And then folks of both genders can drink a bottle of strong booze/ vodka/ you name it, to push this thest to the limits…So if there’s an earthquake – worldwide, AND a major babyboom, then we can try thinkin the “wise man’s” way :D

Dear friend,I live in Iran & I’m a member of Iran Green Movement. Sedighi is a crazy & dremer person & he just tells Khameneie’s opinions (Khameneie is leader of Iran)& never doesn’t think about his saying. He’s just stooge of Khameneie. Most of the people in Iran don’t think like Khameneie, Sedighi, Ahmadi nejad & extra.Most of the people in Iran always laugh at this men when he talks every Friday.They have repeated these tattles for 30 years but people didn’t attention to them.There is no logic behind his saying and His talk is shameful.Good luck

Although the word “cleavage” tends to inspire visions of a deep valley in the middle of a majestic bosom, those women who have more petite (and less back-breaking) figures can still wear low-cut shirts and lead plenty of men astray. Beauty comes in all sorts of shapes!

I haven’t read all of the comments, but because I so often think outside the box (pun noted; not intended, but I’ll let it go this one time), I doubt if anyone has spoken against this idea:What if there *is* an earthquake on Monday or Tuesday? Hmm? Then the imam could say, “See! God dammit, I toldja so! Nyah nyah nyah!!”Just in case that could happen … because it could, you know … I’m going to suggest that women around the world go totally nude on Monday the 26th (through, oh, Wednesday the 28th, just to be on the safe side).There may still be an earthquake. Hell, there could be earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and an asteroid strike. My point is: Who would notice? Who would care, even if he did notice?w00t

Well I don’t think a woman breasts can cause a earth quake. In fact in know it doesn’t. Though a woman breasts could cause a susceptible individual to do a double take. This action could cause whip-lash and\or make the individual to walk into something or crash their car. It’s not the breast fault that humans have drifting eyes.

This purposed theory of God increasing the rate of earthquakes as a result of our sinful behavior is flawed even from a theological standpoint. Biblicaly, the earthquakes increase anyway as birthing pains preceding the pure spotless bride of Christ. “Creation groans for the unveiling of the children of God.” There is nothing we can really do to increase or decrease the frequency of natural disasters… except praying. Praying could decrease it. God is more prone to forgive and show mercy/grace than judgment.

If the cleric meant his comment as an equation – i.e. event A (women’s immodesty) must cause consequence B (leading young men astray) and so on, well then all the young men (note he didn’t say “men” in general, just young ones) out there will have no choice. They will all be led astray. Cause apparently young men have no judgement or control of their own. If you ask me the statement is more of an insult to the young men of the world than anything else.

> I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own.> Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town.Uhm, how is this actually going to do anything to up the earthquake frequency? I mean, aren’t there plenty of chicks like you already doing this all the time?It’s not like cleavage isn’t all over the place as it is. You’re not really upping anything above the already existing baseline level, so this “experiment” would not be expected to produce any results. Maybe you need to run a correlation of earthquake timing with hour of the day, to see if they’ve been occurring more at night (and on Thurs-Sat) than at other times.Of course if there *is* an earthquake on the heels of this non-event…

Does this go down as an entirely unscientific experiment? After all to choose such a time to try and prove a cleric wrong was perhaps slightly naive. The earth has been on the move rather a lot this year with several earthquakes occurring and major volcanic eruptions within a very short space of time. I do not agree with the cleric sedighi at all, but this could be used by him as a confirmation of his beliefs thereby giving him and his cronies further reason to oppress women in a country that allows women less and less frreedom.

Plus ten for style, but minus ten million for stupidity, since earthquakes are much more common than most people think (there are several measurable ones every single day).The advantage of rationality is that science actually, y’know, works. It would have been clever to leverage that advantage and mobilize every woman everywhere in the world to wear a burqqa for a day, and show that that doesn’t KEEP there from being an earthquake. THEN we could all say “Ha ha, stupid guy, your stupid idea is stupid.” The way you did it, he gets to say “See? Told you so.”

I dislike sounding like such a perv, but this should have been done in New York, where women going topless is completely legal. In fact, there is a parade every year of women who are encouraged to do so- I never remember the real name, only that everyone calls it the dykes on bikes parade (even though there are no bikes). All I’m suggesting is that if a little cleavage causes a tremor…

I’m probably late in making this observation, but just in case…The problem with your methodology is pursuing developing a null hypothesis regarding the realtionship between scantily clad women and tectonics is that you propose to take only one data point for observation.Good science requires many more measurements– we all know that typically a set of 30 is used to determine variances, so while I would otherwise commend your experiment, its reaults will not be useful without more data points.

I am very disappointed. This is simply asking to be objectified. Some form of guy-friendly “cute” feminism. If a woman doesn’t “get it” or join in, she doesn’t have a sense of humor, and she’s dry. Am I, a nineteen-year-old college student some sort of old time boring feminist that’s completely out of the loop in that I don’t think women should intentionally display themselves for objectification? Furthermore, we in the US pretty much dress immodestly anyway, to Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi’s standards. Any more is redundant. The stigma around breasts is steeped in classism, where Paris Hilton’s nipple slipping out of a scantily designed dress draws more attention than topless lines indigenous people in Africa in the pages of National Geographic. This i just find interesting, and worth a thought or two.

Hey Jen,I reckon you shouldn’t stop what is inevitable though. Not just women are engaging in this kinda… movement (if I can call it like that). But men that are friends of the cause! At least I do! Well, I believe people will keep going. And they’ll do. Here in Brisbane (Australia) I knew about one women walking on her bra in the street because of you. Great! Even with your explanation (which in part is discouraging for the people that followed the Boobquake idea), people will keep going. Like that movie “fight club”. But in the real life though, with a different objective. And by the “fragile sex”. Well, if yours doesn’t work I am assuming the responsibility to make my own and gather not only women, but men that agree with the cause. Instead boobs, the booty. Showing the bum on the streets. mainly in front of pubs that gather football players. Or just walking the booty. And who knows if I make Bootyquake to happen! Cheers,Luiz Felipe Lima.

There was a 6.5 earthquake off the coast of Taiwan yesterday (Boobquake day). Not saying correlation is causation but there was an earthquake.
