Emily Atack - Asking For It (BBC)

Given some of the mansplaining going on in this post she probably shouldn’t wear short skirts or low cut tops either .. as the title says, she’s asking for it!

Far too many people focusing on what she should do. Why should she have to do anything different when it is 100% down to the freaks sending her stuff that need to be clamped down on.

Yeah. I’ve just checked and her DMs are open on Instagram (no I didn’t send her a d*ck pic) but I suppose she feels like she shouldn’t have to do anything differently and I agree that she shouldn’t.

That said, I don’t believe this is something men have to take collective responsibility for. It’s the actions of a small but not insignificant minority and they should face consequences for their personal actions.

If there was a spate of burglaries going on in your area, wouldn't you make sure your house is locked up so they couldn't get in, or would you just leave them open and hope the police catch them first?

Yes, there are so many weirdos on this planet and the internet doesn't have the correct safety facilities at present to protect people. The big social media companies really need to clamp down on such profiles and reporting means, so until then take control of what you can.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head though. If the burglars are caught they’ll be prosecuted, they can’t hide behind anonymity or an online persona.
