I also understand consequences for actions. If it was a private insta page, that’s one thing, and I don’t necessarily support these men’s actions nor would I take them myself, insofar as the thirsty comments, but if I posted a picture of myself that was purposefully sexy publicly, those are the comments I have to be prepared to get. I really don’t think your argument holds weight, as the consent is done when they post the image publicly to a place with public comments. That was the choice they made. I think that if somebody’s pictures are leaked or something, that’s totally different, but just insofar as public forums… yeah no
So does a woman walking in public wearing revealing clothes deserve to be catcalled? Because that’s basically what you’re arguing. It’s literally victim blaming, why can’t men simply be respectful? Why are women made to police themselves?
Wasn’t a trump card. Was intended to show you just how ridiculous your line of argumentation was. If I said I’m right because I’ve been sexually assaulted, that would be different.
I’ve literally been sexually assaulted and you set me off too. Maybe you’re just a fucking dumbass
Well, as someone who’s been through it, I’d really hope you of all people would understand the fucking importance of consent.

Are we really equivocating catcalling, in which a woman has immediate and relevant fears for her physical safety, and some gross comments online?
Like when somebody tells me they’re gonna rape me in a video game lobby, I don’t appreciate their language but I’m not legitimately fearful.
I’d also really think somebody that cares about people wouldn’t throw somebody’s trauma in their face, fwiw
I don’t appreciate people using their trauma as a trump card, fwiw
