Yeah, there really should be some way of legally restricting access to private images of oneself. Even if the photographer owns the copyright, they shouldn't be permitted to distribute those photographs without the permission of the person photographed.

Do we know that the site is hosted in the US?

They're also called prawns in Australia (small or large)

Wow, they're leaving out all the best stuff! Are they the meat and three veg sort?

Yes, and I have been there too. I was referring to the fact that Spain appeared to be the most socially liberal country in that report. Some of the western countries weren't great either, so it was nice to see one that is.

Spain was encouraging though.

But then you won't have the joy of fluorescent wee.

Poe's law.

That sort of thing is probably why at my birthing classes we were asked to think carefully about who you ask to be with you in the birthing suite. They said to only allow people who won't make it all about them, even if that means excluding someone you really would like to have with you.

I'm guessing the way it works is that if you are rich you can get better healthcare in the US, but if you aren't you can get better healthcare in the UK. I assume that if you don't have the required health insurance, it wouldn't be a treatment option in the US either.

I have always clipped up bras behind my back. I am fairly busty, so I was taught to lean over to fit my boobs into the cup and then clip up at the back. It did take a lot of practice though, and I do still have trouble sometimes when I get an unfamiliar clasp (e.g. on swimwear).

Can anyone answer whether the negative connotations of being a victim is more common in the US? I used to think of it as a matter of fact description of someone who was harmed by something or someone. The negative implications of a victim wasn't something I was familiar with until the last ten years or so.

Foreign travel advisories and rape prevention tips aren't the same thing at all. It is a completely different context. Also women shouldn't have to live their daily life as if they are a foreigner without the rights of a citizen.

It is important to acknowledge that it isn't something you can really truly prevent. As well as giving her some tips on how to reduce the risk, also make sure you spend some time talking to her about what she can do if she, or one of her friends is assaulted.
