I've got no problem with junk shots when they're part of a highly sexualized flirtation, but unsolicited junk shots are just gruesome.
This.
And even then it would have to be something we agreed to do. If I were flirting with a guy, even heavily, and he up and sent me a picture of his junk, I'd be pretty put off.
I WOULD laugh though. I don't know what it is, I have nothing against penises, they're natural and they have a right to be here, but just seeing one, no matter how "naturally gifted" it may be, BLAMMO in the center of a screen out of nowhere is just NEVER sexy, LOL. It always looks so...lonely and goofy just standing there.
There are definitely going to be exceptions to this but I don't think that in general, a woman sending a pic of her boobs to a man is similar in effect as a man sending his joystick to the woman. I just...just...no. Yeah, that's it. Just no.
If you text a picture of yourself to someone, you lose all expectation of privacy. I'm not sure what legal statutes you used to form this opinion. Heck, even if a private picture is used without your permission and posted online, there is very little you can do about it in most cases.
You don't. If that were the truth, re-posting the nude pictures of other people would not be a criminal offense.

You're speaking of violating her personal rights and rules of some things. Let me tell you a different story. A girl posts a picture to a guy. Regardless if he asked her or not, he is NOT allowed to post it on a school board. Even if she posted it on some other palce, he is NOT allowed to re-print the images for others to see it.
I think it's like internet nazis. They make threats and harass people seriously on so many serious things. You can actually sue them for that but general opinion is "hey, it's the internetz". This is why people don't even know that they are doing a criminal offense on so many occasions.
You guys are so clueless and so are so many people. People in fact break the law very often and those are so-called "gray offenses". However, using personal information to spread it worldwide or to post it to another person is a grave thing that can cost you lots of money. It can even put you in jail.
A woman has recently made a video of a guy who spoke of cheating on his wife in public transport. It's been said - he can sue her for any "damage" that results with it. So basically, if his wife divorces him, he can sue her for all the stress and troubles caused by divorce - regardless if he indeed cheated on his wife.

By the same token, she is guilty of the same thing and the mother is a completely innocent third-party that has a cause of action against HER.
I'm not defending HIM. What he did was wrong, but what she did was just as if not even more wrong. At least she was soliciting responses from men on a dating site, albeit not particularly that kind of response. The mother was not soliciting any responses from anyone of any kind.
Just because you are angry at someone and want to get back at them doesn't give you the right to involve and hurt an innocent third party.
Yeah, thats straight up harassment. Just not much to do with imagined rape culture...
It kind of is - though of course depending entirely on what one means by the term "Rape culture".
For a start - As one user pointed out if you did the same thing in real life you would get prosecuted.
Secondly and more importabtly however - the bit that really overlaps with "rape culture" is the idea that there is something wrong with the woman if she is not into it.
Read the "no wonder you are single" comment he used. This kind of mental abuse where you try to make the target feel deficient in some way for refusing your sexual advances.
It is an attempt to shame - harrass - cajole - the woman into feeling something is wrong with her for not accepting the sexual advances of another.
"Rape culture" for me is not simply about pinning a woman down physically and forcing yourself sexually upon her. It is about the attempt by ANY means physically or mentally to cajole a woman into sexual encounters that she otherwise is uninterested in. Be it holding her down and forcing her - or attempting to find and exploit her insecurities to mentally abuse her into it.
While I would normally agree with this, it will NOT stop men from doing it in the future. If you ignore the problem and take the 'high road' they will continue to do this over and over again. Sometimes it's necessary to stand up for yourself and try to put a stop to it.
I didn't say that taking the high road had to mean ignoring it. Reporting harassing behavior to the police, or the dating website (if they met online...I can't tell because the link to the story is broken) would be the appropriate adult thing to do. Facebook stalking and tattling to the person's mother is a childish response. Again, I think it's funny, and the guy totally deserved it, but if she were me or my friend I'd have rather seen her take the adult road rather than stoop to his level.
I think she took a much higher road than the guy who sent her a photo of himself naked and then tried to shame her for not being enthusiastic about receiving it.
I'd say she took a barely higher road, at best. That's being generous.

No, it's because part of the link was censored with asterisks by city-data (presumably) when you posted it. Look at the link in your OP. We need to know what word to replace the ******* with if we want to see the story.
Funny story. "perpetuation of rape culture" is way over the top imo, its not as if sending naked pics of yourself to a possible date is somehow gender specific.
Agreed. I've received plenty of unsolicited naughty photos from women. Of course, they were apparently smart enough (or lucky enough guessers) to know I'd like it. Similarly, I'm smart enough to know that not all women would like receiving one from me. This guy apparently didn't think that through.

No, the page is no longer available, period. A bunch of people from here saw it when I posted it, up until mid-afternoon. It is no longer viewable through FB, either. She took the whole tumblr down, not just that page. Sorry you missed the party!
