Talking about unsolicited dick pics instead of unsolicited nudes and porn in general is a serious problem of gender bias in the law. Men may be more at fault for this, but a law against a specific set of people sounds a bit dangerous doesn't it?

Just make unsolicited nudes in general illegal. And yes men are more at fault for this but the law should be applied equally.

Yes. The government should not be involving itself in social issues like this. It shoes the tyrannical attitude of the government that they even think they need to control people in this way

The law is downright silly. However, to even suggest that unsolicited dick pics are the same as breastfeeding in public are the same thing is also just as silly.

I’m going to say that sending unsolicited nude photographs to others is akin to flashing someone and should be held to the same standards. However, breast feeding is not a sexual or enticing act. It is literally feeding a child. Let’s not have everyone ripping off their tops and breast feeding in a restaurant. But I have seen plenty of women, my wife included, that can nourish a growing child in a respectful and dignified way.

rabel111 · 2019-11-13T02:51:50+00:00

It isn't reasonable to equate images of breast feeding with sexually explicit images. Breast feeding is natural and of great benefit to mother and infant. We should be encouraging breast feeding for women who are able.

Samantha_Cruz · 2019-11-12T19:14:31+00:00

I send unsolicited dick pics a lot.

Joaonetinhou · 2019-11-12T23:46:48+00:00

Just don't send unsolicited dick picks. Jesus.

MarsNirgal · 2019-11-13T02:04:49+00:00

Honestly, that picture is waaaaaaay off the mark comparing dick picks to breastfeeding. They are entirely different things.

Breastfeefing is the healthiest and optimal way for an infant to be feed, it's cheap, enviromentally friendly, it's natural and breasts aren't genitalia.

Unsolicited dick pics have no benefits, just men sending pictures of their erections. Basically the electronic version of flashing someone. It has different intent and different outcome.

This is the stupid shit that people mock MRA's for, down vote it.

Its as if there's a Marxist conspiracy to march through our institutions and turn everything on its head so that there aren't universal rights but privileges.

1LegendaryWombat · 2019-11-13T01:46:25+00:00

I agree, thicker skin, please. People are so god damned pathetic when it comes to things they don't like. Like there was that kid who is now a convicted sex offender, registered for years because he made some girl feel uncomfortable.

McFeely_Smackup · 2019-11-13T04:51:45+00:00

Are men more prone to it? Or is it that men generally don't complain about unsolicited nudes as often as women do?

I know I've received unsolicited nudes from women several times, and never sent a single dick pic on my life.

ShamusHorus · 2019-11-13T07:58:06+00:00

Men are not the most problematic people, women expose themselves unsolicited all the time and everywhere, it is just that society has deemed unsolicited exposition of female has acceptable.

2019-11-12T23:52:36+00:00

OR YOU COULD PRETEND YOU ARE FROM TEXAS WITH FAKE IP AND FAKE NUMBER AND SEND DICK PICS IN MASSE. Lol

In the UK the age of consent is 16. However the law stipulates that you cannot have nude pictures of people under 18. We have heard of cases where 18 year old men have been arrested and charged for having pictures of their 17 year old girlfriend. These pictures were taken by the girl, and she sent them to her boyfriend. He did not share them with anyone, but, when arrested or searched for an unrelated matter, the police have found the images and prosecuted. However we are yet to hear of a female being prosecuted on a similar basis, or of one being punished for sending unsolicited pictures.

It seems that a consensually sent image, let alone an unsolicited one, can have far more serious consequences for a man than for a woman.

PutridMeatPuppet · 2019-11-13T16:27:45+00:00

What if you send a dick pic of someone else’s dick ?

my-third-account3 · 2019-11-15T14:33:27+00:00

First masterbaiting now dick picks. What the fuck is wrong with Texas

BandMan69 · 2020-03-25T13:18:29+00:00

I wonder. There’s this one women on Discord who sent me some... reveling pictures of herself I didn’t really ask for. Can I report her for that?
