I'm going to kick myself for feeding the trolls, but that was so magnificently illogical. OK, I'll bite. How am I a xenophobe?

It's not shameful to have a nude body, or to choose to have photos taken of it, but it is absolutely shameful to have someone steal them and share them around like you have no right to control your body and who sees it. It is an act intended to shame. Millions of people will look upon the photos with judgement and…
Uh... when you stated "I agree with him," in reference to Kenneth Parcell, I was assuming you were... I dunno... agreeing with Kenneth Parcell. What he said was that they should, essentially, shrug and say ""i look hot in these photos and yeah it sucks but shit happens" Laugh it off was my summary of that, but not an…
Here's hoping. It sounds like J-Law's got her lawyers out in full force.
When I was 20 my boyfriend and I got goofy with a cameraphone. They weren't particularly sexy shots, we were mostly being silly, but we were nekkid at the time. I liked the video, but I was a bit nervous of it getting out somehow.
The fact that it was posted on Jez is immaterial. The fact that other people in the world do bad things too is immaterial. The fact that sometimes news publications publish questionable articles about men is immaterial. The fact that people use the word "creepy" a lot is immaterial. I'm seeing a lot of squirming…
I would love it if all these celebrities got together and sued TMZ into oblivion once and for all.
Here's hoping.
I agree, but I still feel it is derailing the conversation (which is about the violation of privacy) into a conversation about women's "shame". If JLaw had published these photos of her own volition and was being shamed for it, then it would be relevant to say, "oh, well, it's just the human body." In that…
Totally irrelevant. We're not talking about JLaw defying the expectation to "cover our bodies" by posting the photos of her own volition, we are talking about someone hacking her computer in a vicious violation of her privacy and her personhood. And your response is, "laugh it off! There's nothing shameful about…
But guys sending emails are PEOPLE. These are just women.
I hope she just hires a PI with the computer skills to trace the hacker, then gets her lawyers to nail him to the wall. Make it known what happens when you fuck with her. It's time we pushed back.
Anyway, it's sounding more and more like all or most of the photos are fake anyway.
"women are always taught that our bodies are private"

Well, firstly, fuck you for the victim blaming. Glad we got that out of the way.
Critiquing and dissecting is not the same thing as attacking.
Sexualized violence, and the threats thereof, are always about silencing and overpowering women. These guys are dumb and frightened. This is what dumb frightened misogynists do — they threaten to rape people. Her arguments scare them, and they're not bright enough to rebut them, so they threaten rape. It's pretty…
So... the same-sex part is the part that bothered them? Not the interspecies part?
I mean, call me a conservative bigot, but I kind of think that one's sexual partners should at least be mammals.
I suggest you watch it. Carefully. Rewatch the parts you don't understand.
Portraying gender-based violence is not off the table in and of itself — just don't throw it in for cheap shock meant to titillate and please the viewer. If you are going to portray a serious and real issue that actually affects real people every day, do it with an ounce of thought and respect, and do your due…
