Summary | Shane Connolly, an assistant commissioner for the Australian police, said that in order to avoid becoming victims of revenge porn, people should just stop taking selfies. The author of the article does not agree and is tired of men who think that women are responsible of their own downfall. According to a research, 83% of us have already taken naked selfies. The problem is that we need a law that protects us when we're being abused.

Summary | A study by Julia Lippman and Scott Campbell where they interviewed teenagers about their attitudes towards sexting showed that a strong double standard exists between judging girls' versus boys' sexting activities. If girls sext, the are perceived as attention-seeking 'sluts' and if the do not engage in sexting, they are judged for being frigid. Boys are however pardoned for sexting because "boys will be boys". Minors sexting is further problematic because it is persecuted under child pornography laws.
