Any policy that comes from this would also benefit men that have had to live with fake abusive images being generated of them. But some people would rather cut off their nose to spite their face. As long as women don't get stuff, then it's worth it for men have to suffer a little extra, amirite? /s

fuck straight white men.

But of course, this is what it always comes back to for men who try to make some transparent argument against protecting women from fake nude photos, revenge porn, domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, etc. It's never a real argument. It's some insecure guy getting his feelings hurt by just the mention of equality. They don't feel special anymore, so they inevitably claim that women being protected from abuse is somehow a privilege. It's just tired and predictable.

I said it in another one of my replies, but suffice it to say that I'm a stranger on the internet. You don't know shit about me. Calling me a misogynist and accusing me of trying to hide behind my fancy internet words so I can continue enjoying fake porn of people I've never met in real life is the most insulting thing I've get the pleasure of receiving online.

I don't like interacting with it much, but here we are now. You can take or leave what I say, but I do everything in my power to check my privledge at the door. I'm not interested in having discussions to convince people that I'm right, I want to have these discussions because I want to learn from others' points of view. I won't ever let one persons Lemmy comment completely change my opinion on theings, but I definitely will always want to have that dialogue to hopefully better inform my opinions. We could all use a dose of active listening, because that's how problems get solved.
