I just want to say that I agree with everything you've said, except there's gotta be a better way to acknowledge that abuse victims are often severely financially dependent on their abusers, without saying that they're staying for the money.

There are a multitude of excruciating factors that make leaving damn near…

This is one of the most cogent things I've read about this story. Thank you.

"A woman saying yes to a date with a man is literally insane and ill-advised, and the whole species' existence counts on them doing it. I don't know how they...how do women still go out with guys, when you consider the fact that there is no greater threat to women than men? We're the number one threat to women.…

Step One in the abuser's playbook is to isolate the victim. (I almost said "his victim," but it's also VERY possible for a man to be the abused person in a dysfunctional relationship. See, once you've cut off someone, they have no support group. No peers. No one to run to.

For those of you who get the parts of the brain mixed up:

That's horrible. Uhg. You poor thing. Dudes like that.. I just can't even.. .. Uhg. Glad you caught him hopefully before doing something with your photos, and glad he's now your ex-boyfriend.

Hm. I suppose a rigid metal barrier between your foot and their genitals makes it safe.

On the other hand: That amazing woman! For not only getting her ass out of there, but then following through and getting him arrested for his despicable crime.

Cue the assholes coming in here, telling us she should have known better than to trust him. (I've seen that in the comments when it was a husband spreading nude pictures of the wife he was still married to. So.)

Technically, I'd call it domestic abuse.

My (now ex)boyfriend had pictures of all his ex-girlfriends. He'd trade pictures online, amateur shot for amateur shot; supposedly just of the ex that was actively trying to ruin his life, as she 'deserved it'. Call me crazy, but for some reason I didn't want him to take pictures of me. So he didn't...while I was…

No, I'm with you. I mean, this is definitely closer to revenge porn than anything else, but I'd just say it's different enough that it's extra weird.

How is this not a sex crime? He is a sex offender and should have to register as such. Superdouche, indeed.

Douché

Bonus portrait for those in the business of printing images on punching bags.

Since the OP is The Queen, shouldn't she be able to make this brigade happen post-haste?

The guy with this face wanted the world to see him fuck. Beside the absolutely horrendous criminal act he committed against the woman, ponder the fact that this guy, possessor of this face, presumed to think the world needed to see him fuck.

Seriously. Can we make this happen? Can there be a nut punch brigade?

Seriously, revenge porn bothers the shit out of me so much. I wish everyone who is a rabid consumer of these revenge porn sites gets punched in their genitals.
