This is an unacceptable attitude that allows boys and men to get away with things like this. It says we accept their behavior because their genetic makeup means they cannot help themselves. The fact that most men do not behave this ways says that's simply not true - they can control and some men choose not to. We must stop saying this and excusing their poor behaviors.

@ChynnaBlue Men "not behaving" has been going on for thousands of years.... good luck in stopping this behavior.

So, why even bother trying?

Just because it has been going on for "thousands of years", makes it okay to accept boorish behavior from them?

You are again basing it on a gender and a group of people and not individuals behaving badly. That is part of the problem that allows the people who behave badly to get away with it.Call out the individuals, not the gender group.

Surely your husband does not post pictures of naked women online without their consent, right? Bad behavior is not about gender, it's about individuals.

We've certainly curtailed a lot of it. Rape used to be a boys will be boys thing. Now, in many cases it's jail time or getting thrown out of college.

Drunk driving and killing a child used to be "Oh, he was drunk" and that was that. Now a lot of that is also jail time.

And a lot of men have caught on, they don't get away with things they used to get away with.

I think it is disgusting that any women would take photos of herself,or let some one do so,if this is what happened with their consent ,i think they are the problem.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

I see it as a problem that the male Marines threatened others that if they told what was going on they would see that their wives and daughters were raped.

If you read about that male group, they were centered around violence.

If the women knew or took the photos ,there is the problem, no photos no problem, but if they were taken without them knowing that is not right,and this ****** of men being men,is just that ******.

There is a HUGE problem if these women did not consent to having their photos shared:/
