Oh, and objectification is victimization.
And this stuff is a lot more permanent.digital photos, texting, Facebook etc.

Not long ago the worse that could happen is you'd be outed at school. Now it is your whole town or worse. And if someone googles you it might come up as well.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

jade made a good point: The permanence of these teen gaffes has the potential to negatively affect lives in the future. Imagine if Georgy Bush had his Yale exploits on video for all to peruse?

Exactly. Drew Barrymore talks about this all the time. She realizes that she was lucky, the time she was train wreck was pre-paparazzi and TMZ. Now all this stuff is blasted all over social media and archived forever. I understand how permanently humiliating it would be to be implicated in something like this.

OK let's be honest, only the women would be permanently scarred. The men would be high fived and congratulated unfortunately.
