Axis of Eve is a political organization based in the United States, whose name is a play on words mocking US President George W. Bush's "Axis of Evil" epithet for Iran, Iraq and North Korea. They describe themselves as "a coalition of brazen women on a mission to EXPOSE and DEPOSE President Select George W. Bush." During the Republican Convention in New York City, they organized a "mass flash" demonstration, where the assembled activists would show off their panties. In another play on words, the protestors use a double entendre on the phrase "expose bush", referring to political action against the President, as well as the action of showing off a woman's pubic area.
According to their website [1]: "Axis of Eve reclaims women’s bodies as instruments for positive politics and regime change. The mass flash is a demand for transparency and accountability. We bare our protest panties to boldly call for an end to political cover-ups."
