...and even if it was true, the saying 'two wrongs don't make a right' springs to mind.
Exactly. People seem more bothered by boys being called out than the fact that girls are going to school to get an education and being harassed by their peers. Knocks me sick.
I’m tired of the narrative that teenage girls are so ‘grown up’ and ‘know what they’re doing’. It’s the boys who “know what they’re doing” if you ask me since they have such easy access to online porn, whilst girls can access that stuff too, it is mostly boys who find it first and the majority of what they see is women being submissive to men or acting sexy or being degraded for men, it’s not exactly hard for them to work out how to exploit women for themselves. Just look at the front page of any porn site and you will see. I don’t think most people are aware of how depraved porn is these days. If people knew they would do more to stop their kids accessing it. It’s nothing like the dirty magazines of the past, and even those weren’t great.
If I was a teenager now and a boy asked me for a topless selfie.... I might have done it. I wanted to be liked by them, I probably would have thought he liked me if he was asking for one. Thank fuck I went to school before smart phones. I wasn’t a dumb kid I knew right from wrong but feelings are confusing when you’re a teenager. School aged lads have always played that game of pretending to like you to get something they want, smart phones have made it worse than ever.
