Never mind that Mary Elizabeth Winstead took those photos with her husband and then deleted them. It wouldn't be anywhere close to okay, regardless, but she did "everything right" according to these people and her pictures are still there.
I can't believe how fucked up this has gotten. Especially all the blame that's being thrown at these women for taking these photos. Get the fuck out.
I do. I refer to it as a leak, a violation of privacy and a sex crime.

It's amazing how the people who thump the Constitution the loudest seem to have forgotten to read it.
Honestly, they don't think women are people. I really just wish they would have the balls to come out and say it.
My brain literally cannot comprehend the people defending "free speech" when it encompasses people who violently (and sexually) threaten people like Anita Sarkeesian, or repost creep shots like Violentacrez.
"I'm starting to think we've conflated 'free speech' with 'freedom to bully without consequences.'"
My thoughts exactly. The influence of this line of thinking is still so predominant, it's sickening.
Honestly, I don't know if it even counts as presentism if it was only 45 years ago. I feel pretty comfortable judging people less than 50 years ago by today's standards of decency, at least in regards to some things. While I realize the acceptable terms WITHIN a group change over time, I feel pretty confident that no…
Uh, as someone who works in evolution biology... you are discussing evolutionary psychology, NOT evolutionary biology. Evolutionary biology we have evidence for, evolutionary psychology is just making about stories about "why things are the way they are" with no evidence.

The anti-vaxxers are the same people who would have been yelling "Witchcraft!" 300 years ago.
I got my license on a manual 14 years ago and I used to drive for a living, so let's not play pissing contest and talk about the safest way to operate a vehicle.
We expect unconditional love from our parents but I guess there is no law stating that they have to love us in an unconditional manner. Some parents literally care nothing for their children. I am a first born and have tried to please them in most areas of my life. But since I hit my 40's I have realized how foolish I…
The internet is often rightly vilified for the horrendous atrocities we casually commit upon one another in the name of self expression. To be reminded of the overwhelming display of community is it also capable of helps you get through rough weeks like this one.
I can understand why they might not want it to be continuously reshared by news outlets, given the way that the general public sometimes responds. (Being hateful bigots is awful, but at a certain point, I feel sorry for anyone who's drawn the public eye unwittingly.)
But they asked Daniel to do something for them? Oh he…
Maybe they should try praying away the video.
instead of talking about how fucked up this is in so many ways, or about the prevalence of plastic surgery in sk, i will talk about something more important, like how my new life goal is to have this sentence be written again, sometime in the future, about me:
