'We're constantly asked for pictures': Teen researches why sending naked pics is now normal | CBC News

Since September, Kiona has been looking more closely at why boys feel entitled to ask for nude photos, and why girls feel compelled to send them.

This sentence intrigued me. Why do boys feel "entitled" to "ask".

Asking is, by definition, asking for consent. There is no sense of "entitlement" there. It's an ask. Girls are free to say no.

I can understand the pressure. I know some girls send a joke picture instead (like a picture of their dog or something).

It just seems to me the way the word "entitlement" is being thrown around these days; it doesn't mean what it really means.

Are boys not allowed to ask for consent? Is that what the narrative is now?

Please archive that crap, so that the media learns to stop farming cheap outrage clicks from propaganda like this.

Basically, it's yet another attempt to portray male sexuality as bad and dangerous, while female sexuality is inherently pure and angelic. Nothing new here, so you don't have to bother reading it to be honest. You've probably seen and heard it all before many times. It's hypoagency at its finest. Women would never ask for a dick pic, instead they're sent inappropriate things "without their consent". The fiction just writes itself.

Is it by any chance because he's a hot boy from the football team that he feels entitled to ask and that she "feels compelled" to take a photo and send it?

The other thing that bothers me about this article, is it's all women's voices, all trying to define masculinity.

This is a typical maneuver by the CBC. They open up a discussion about gender. Then they blame men and boys. They throw around the word "toxic". They claim much of this is due to men "not supporting" or "not expressing" their feelings.

Said by women.

Can you imagine a room full of men sitting around deciding how women and girls should act navigating this complicated world?

Or imagine me trying to describe my feelings as a black man (I'm not black).

It seems to me men should be defining what masculinity is.

The CBC, if it were an honest publication which actually wanted to discuss these issues, would speak to more men and boys. Not a girl. Don't ask a high school girl to define masculinity. With all due respect to her and what she's trying to do. She doesn't define masculinity.

I understand now is a complicated time. I can only imagine the pressures of having to share photos online.

Some girls do share photos. Freely! Enthusiastically! It's not like it's always, always bad.

Once again, the CBC tried to frame this as an example of "toxic masculinity".

I think it's more complicated than that.

She has never seen men hug? How many times in movies and tv do men clasp hands. Pull one another in for a one armed hug? Also it's great that she thinks so many aren't experencing emotions cause they don't show, talk, or in general express them in the ways she does. I know plenty of men who are very open emotionally, but don't want to dwell on things.

The person who wrote this is a moron, like usual from CBC news.

he already knew about gender identity

Yep, nope

As a dad, I’ll be teaching my kids that asking for, and sharing naked pictures is not on.

I’ve got girls and a boy. Learning about boundaries and respect starts at home.
