so, you guys realize that plenty of women send nudes of themselves as well, right? Or is that ok, but when a man does it - he is an evil pervert that should get death penalty? Why are you all so comfortable attacking men, talking about hurting men, calling them perverts and animals.....but if anyone says a word about women its sacrilegious blasphemy and how dare you? That stinks of misandry to me? Why are you ok with that?

Quite a few people I know feel violated, assaulted, and traumatized by this action. So yes, there are more than a few people that feel this way. Not everyone, of course, but it is pretty common from what I've seen and heard among my female friends.

It's not the sending of nudes that is the problem.
It's the unsolicited and unwanted sending of them.
I've received tons of nudes from women over the years. Never had them sent by strangers I didn't want to meet, or after turning someone down for a date, or had them sent unsolicited out of the blue. And of course, there is a systematic difference in powers between the sexes in our society.

There sure seems to be, because you cannot criticize a woman, because a person like you runs to their defense. If we wlive in such male dominated patriarchal society, MAYBE YOU CAN TELL ME WHY MEN ARENT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT OUR OWN PROBLEMS? Why arent we allowed to speak freely? Why arent we allowed to criticize women?
Please save yourself the nonsense of this feminist garbage of how men dominate.
Why are there no shelters for battered men or shelters willing to take in men, who are victims of domestic violence, when men are over 40% of domestic violence victims? There are 2000 female only DV shelters and 1 for men. ONE. Why any time men want to get together and talk about 4 out of 5 suicides being men, about 97% of military deaths being men, about 93% of work related deaths being men or men constantly being fleeced in family courts - feminists show up and pull alarms, shot down venues and attack these very men? Dont you think that if we lived in male dominated society, this wouldnt be the case? Systematic difference in powers by behind. Wake up dude, before its too late.

I've talked about my problems plenty. I speak freely. I criticize individuals for individual actions.
I don't know...shouldn't unsolicited D pics be about the same as flashing? As far as correctional action goes? (Hypothetically.)
I mean isn't it the same thing???
And before we go to "no, because it's on a dating site," well, I'm reasonably sure that if one went to a singles get-together and whipped his pants down, it would be a corrections-worthy offense regardless.

Who said it's "okay"?
Someone even brought up the female teacher sending the dirty pics to the student as an example of obvious wrongdoing.
Huh??? First you say women should be just as culpable for sending nudes, next you throw out this mocking sarcasm to guys who have received exactly that and say it's not okay?

Huh. OK. Well, it's news to me. Guess the ladies I know are just too snarky to feel that way, when they have something to snicker at in front of them, and among their girlfriends.
Not saying it's a good thing. I've never met a woman who responded positively to an unsolicited d-pic. Just the women I know don't tend to be upset exactly, just...maybe exasperated, mildly annoyed, or eye-rolling. Or mocking.
Now, if a guy followed this up with in-person bad behavior, if I felt like he was possibly going to stalk me or harass me in real life, then that would be entirely different.
