The prior statement is wrong, though. We do know that autism is not caused by vaccines - for example, there’s no correlation between the time of changes in vaccine schedules and changes in autism rates, the real autism rate has not increased over time as vaccine numbers have increased, there's no possible mechanism,…

I feel like this is quite possibly a response to conspiracy theorists?

Entitlement to women’s bodies, personal space, and time is a key trope upholding rape culture. As is the assumption that someone who takes their clothes off for photos in one context automatically consents to all other contexts.
