Let us not forget that for many males the decision to post an image of their nude girl-friend online is a deliberate insult. Precisely, that is their revenge after they have been dumped by said girl-friend. In such a context, any domestic nude photo should be deemed suspicious. Unless there is the explicit consent of the girl, but I assume I am not very far from truth in assuming all those photos are posted by males. Less frequently, such a tolerance might also encourage the publication of incest. More concretely, in this "Korean" case today, a small but not neglectable probability exists that it is the author's daughter. It can happen. _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
