I much appreciate the warning to stay out of pending comments. Thanks!

I think the way I would respond to that is that there's sort of a hierarchy of importance. Let's say there's a scale of importance that goes from 1 to 10. Being polite to people who are being polite to you is something you should probably do to make the world a better place. Let's assign that an importance level of...…
You can understand murdering 38 people because they're annoying you at work?
You're not allowed to torture animals either. Same principle.
I'm a staunch atheist and all, but you really need to chill out.
But what if a gust of wind blows open your neighbour's blinds and you see her naked. Is that wrong?
The specific thing you are culpable for is viewing someone's naked body without their consent.
I use 4chan sporadically. It's not a monolith, but it's certainly more uniform than reddit. Some boards, like /lgbt/ and /an/ and /tg/ are relatively friendly, and child porn is pretty much confined to /b/ and rarer than you may think. But racism and sexism still abound. The atmosphere is endlessly hostile.
By viewing the naked images without the consent of the person pictured, you are violating their privacy. The people who stole and published these photos are more culpable for this violation than people like you, but you are culpable in it all the same.
Wow, you're an incredible asshole.
Fair enough.
but it's just as probable that she can pay for her own lawyer.
I think a lot of sex-positive stuff pushes the line of sex-pushy. I cannot tell you how many times I've had "prude!" spit at me by "sex-positive" people because I didn't want to have sex and didn't want to watch them have sex. Lots of misguided people take "sex-positive" to mean that nobody is allowed to have…
You won't draw the same crowd with "sex assault prevention" as the title.
Lawsuits like this are often taken on contingency. It's probable she doesn't pay anything unless she wins.
If you are, so am I. Old lady crying into a bible with a plastic fetus over a ton of abortion propaganda. It's like a caricature of itself.
It's not even close to settled science. It's an area of contention among experts. Present your point if you like (that new link is much better, which is appreciated), but don't lie about it. That just makes you look stupid, dishonest, or both.
I haven't dated much in America. Is this a common thing?
An article with no credited author that doesn't cite any sources is not exactly the be all and end all of expert opinion.
This guy is clearly a shitpile and she should dump him posthaste, but I think you're making a LOT of assumptions about his motivations without enough information to back them up. It's possible that's the way he thinks, but it's also possible he's just sort of a generally insensitive jerkwad who doesn't understand how…
