Those naughty dames!

A group of militant feminists yesterday cheered on the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI by marching topless outside — and later, for a brief moment, inside — the famed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

The nine chanting women — members of the hard-core Ukrainian protest group FEMEN — had slogans written in black paint across their bare chests and backs that read, “Pope no more” and “Game over.”

At one point, the group managed to get inside the famed French church and ring a massive bell on display there. But Notre Dame workers quickly yanked the breast-baring rebels outside again.

The women said they were protesting what they called the church’s continued stance against equal rights for women and gays.

The topless troupe noted that France’s lower parliamentary house was poised to vote on whether to legalize gay marriage. The French assembly later approved the measure.

FEMEN has defended its trademark shirts-off antics in the past by stating, “If we staged simple protests with banners, then our claims would not have been noticed.’’
