Couldn't help it.Lol

Yes. But you're still an asshole.

And I admitted to that strawman in the post that followed, but sure. If you must insist that I was being willfully ignorant, fine.

It has everything to do with you, and your (existent) paranoia. I thought your were arguing that it was the woman's fault for getting her pictures posted online. That's why I posted my interpretation of you're argument earlier to see if I was arguing against a straw man, and it turned out I was. I wasn't trying to be…

The only thing I'm trying to "do" is pointing out how tactless you're being. You need to check your paranoia, because I wasn't "willfully ignoring" anything. I misunderstood your point, and based my arguments on my misunderstandings. I wasn't wringing my gloved hands thinking "ah, yes. He makes an excellent point.…

Trying to score a final point? As if I think that's going to do anything. Pointing out flaws in my argument isn't being condescending. Adding asshole comments like "jeezus christ" and "you can't be serious" in response to counter argument is.

How am I grasping at straws? I gave the point to you because I finally understood what you were saying. I wasn't dodging anything.

No need to be condescending, though. It's uncalled for.

Alright. I get what you're saying. The point is yours.

Also, I can't believe you don't see the similarity between your line of thinking and the analogies that I've provided. Before we go any further, let me get this straight and see if this is what you're trying to argue (I'm going to use a woman as an example, because I don't want to bother with all the he/she/person…

Here's why it's not analogous. The office is an environment where sending naked pictures is completely inappropriate in the first place, because we're talking about coworkers, not intimate lovers. That is not the case with someone who places trust in their significant other and privately sends their naked photo to the…

It is analogous because I find your point of view to come from the same mentality. And no, I would not count the office situation as victim blaming, because that takes place in a professional environment, unlike sending nude photos to your significant other, which is a private matter.

Sure. But I'm taking about the mentality that if a woman is scantily clad, she decides to up her chances to get harassed.

What's the difference between what I said and what you just said?

"If you choose to trust someone, the weight of that decision is on you." That's exactly what victim blaming is, isn't it? So if someone is dressed a certain way, she is responsible for getting harassed in public by "putting herself in that situation"?

There is no deceit involved in drunk driving. There is when it comes to people sharing pictures of their ex/girlfriend, who should be the one held responsible. That's the point I'm trying to make. Also, the office example takes place in a professional setting. Sending nudes to your significant other anything but…

That's what I meant when I said that the op was blaming the victim. We might be responsible for our actions, but people can't be blamed for placing trust in someone they perceive to be respectful of their trust. The person who released the photos is the one to blame. End of story.

If someone who has been in a relationship for , let's say, seven years decides to let their significant other to take their picture, would it then be their fault? To me, that's not much different from telling others to dress a certain way to avoid getting harassed.

It's placing the weight of the responsibility on the victim, when it shouldn't be, especially if the image was only intended to be viewed by the victim's spouse privately.

You're blaming the victim.
