A few years ago, when several celebs private photos, including several nude photos, were hacked and posted online, my initial feeling at the, frankly, gross responses from some male Twitter users was irritation; I thought the photos were fake, and these guys were just idiots.
Every time I hear about something like "incel" (I refuse to call it a movement; such a word grants them too much legitimacy), I feel ashamed of being a man. This is not the first time I've felt this way, I'm afraid.

Then I found out that the photos were real, and I felt sick. That some women's privacy had been horribly invaded, and that men were ogling the photos and making jokes about them made me feel sickened and ashamed of my entire gender.

I respect women. I believe in respecting women, and I hate that there are still men in this day and age that treat women as objects to be lusted after, or that one is entitled to "own" (just the idea that some men think women are to "owned" sickens me).

Anyone who thinks that they're entitled to sex, or entitled to see a single inch of a woman that she didn't consent to show can straight to hell in my book. Women's rights are human rights, and to be against them is simply nonsensical.
