Is this how we should handle Dick Pics?

[JimB]

I've explained how it is at least four times. I'll explain a fifth time.

You can't go around destroying people because they did something inappropriate. That is a crime.

Though I disagree with your understanding of the law, your understanding of the law and Ms. Sears's reactions are not what I am talking about to you. I am talking about the perspectives you seem to have based on the things you said, and given that you have quite explicitly said what I listed without any need for inference on my part, I only say you seem to have them because I am still holding out hope you are just trolling, just trying to get a rise out of me, when you say such things.

Further, I think you must know that's what I'm talking about, since you explicitly asked me to provide you with such a list, so I do not understand what you hope to gain with this kind of deflection unless it's to try to trick me into changing the subject, which I have no interest in. Whether you interpret my understanding of your statements as deliberate insults or not, the perspective you describe remains troubling, and I will still exhort you to speak with a professional in the hopes of getting better. No doubt my cheering for you is beyond useless and apt to make you refuse to even consider it just to spite me, but this is the only avenue I have to convince you, so.

That's basically slut shaming.

That's basically slut shaming.

No, a slut is someone who has sex with some arbitrary number of consenting partners. Ms. Sears did not ask for the pictures she is being sent, so her harassers are harassers rather than sluts.

That's basically slut shaming.

I fail to see the connection. Or is exposing harassment the same as shaming someone for their sex life now?

 

[Gengisgame]

Given your solution appears to be for women to lock themselves away from social and business interaction on the web (which has a real-world parallel), I'm even more inclined to advocate my relatives fight. That's really no way to live.

What is wrong with you?

Are you some sort of parody account? Your not even using your real name right now.

It is common sense to not use your real details unless you can handle the attention, unless you plan to lobotimize every internet user on earth you teach common sense safety to your friends and family and you do the same when it comes to walking the streets at night (the irl parallel), your not living in the real world if you think that's something that can be changed anymore than preventing all crime.

and I'm sure people will be able to get by not using there real details on random forums.

 

[Something Amyss]

Your not even using your real name right now.

Actually, I am.

For the record, the argument that you don't use your real name online unless you're ready to deal with harassment reads an awful lot like "hey, she was asking for it."

I would like to know your definition of slut shaming and how you think this applies.

I doubt that

Just to know if you really are a parody account do you actually believe that telling someone to take preventative measures as the same as blaming them for the crime?

 

[Something Amyss]

I doubt that

You doubt my real name is Amy? What grounds to you have to base that?

do you actually believe that telling someone to take preventative measures as the same as blaming them for the crime?

Saying that you don't do something unless you're willing to deal with someone else's illegal actions is not the same as saying they should take precautions. The former is blaming. The second is not. It sure looks like you're more concerned with going after the victim than with going after the perpetrator.

That would have been easy for you to do, you could have verified your real identity with a link, but you didn't so your still a hypocrite and I don't want you to, I may not like how you do things but I stand by my point that you should be careful with your details and I'm assuming you talk in politically charged topics where emotions run high.

That's like telling someone "you could get hurt doing a dangerous job" or "be careful carrying such large amounts of money or you could get robbed" is a bad thing. Telling people the potential consequences of there actions is something sensible, not something you tag with a rubbish internet logic.

 

[JimB]

You could have verified your real identity with a link, but you didn't so you're still a hypocrite.

Something Amyss is only a hypocrite if she said that she and all women should be posting their personal information on all sites under any and all circumstances. She did not say that. She said that women should be allowed to fight back rather than tuck tail and run in silence, as you insist they must.
