The saddest part of the nude celebrity photo hack

[Warpy]

38. Control of women through slut shaming and humiliation, that's why.

My own response, had I ever posed for a dirty Polaroid (the state of the art back when anybody wanted to see me nekkid) would likely have been "Yeah, we all have bodies and yours should look so good." Besides, do you know what happens to a Polaroid after 50 years?

My response to rape threats when I was moderating political chat online 20 years ago was "with whose dick?" as I changed the hour time out into a three week ban and blocked his PMs.

I've been that despised minority within a minority within a minority in political struggle long enough to have developed a hide like a rhino. It's only younger women in their 20s who can be intimidated by this garbage. It's usually women who have achieved any amount of fame who are most likely to be heavily slut shamed by men in prolonged adolescence who are outraged that a mere woman has achieved more than they can ever hope to.

This behavior is not our problem, it's men's problem. Our problem is how we react to it.
