Well if she didn't post her naked pictures in Facebook, even if it was hacked, nobody would get them. Is it not a common sense not to post your naked pictures on the Internet? Especially if you don't want people to look at them...

Sort of like the argument that you should have had a more solid door, then the robbers would've stolen your neighbour's stuff and not yours.

No, you shouldn't blame the victim, we should be working against the sexist dynamics in society.

If you don't wantto have your car stolen it's common sense to not own a car. If you don't want your money to be stolen it's common sense to be broke. If you don't want your kids to be kidnapped it's common sense to remain childless. If you don't want to be murdered it's common sense to commit suicide.

Of course people should be aware of risks and manage them appropriately, but it's also possible to not blame them for the abuse of others.

Right, do nothing to be ashamed of and nothing can be made public to hurt you.

Given your stance on this, you obviously would have no issue with your full internet browsing history being made public and associated with your real name, the one by which your partner / current flirt / potential employer knows you and might find you, right? I mean, if you didn't want people to know that you're into midget goat porn, you'd just not browse for it, correct?

First of all, nowhere does it say that she posted her pictures on Facebook at all (either to her friends or in a private message), just that her Facebook account, along with her email account, were hacked.

Second of all, as other commenters have noted, you're blaming the victim - the classic "if you don't want to get raped, don't look sexy".

Nice victim blaming there.

So she was too dumb, and she got what was coming?

Or even worse, with the "if you don't want people to look at them" hint, perhaps she wanted this. Maybe deep down. Subconsciously or something.

That's a particularly classy form of victim blaming that. Doubly so since you created an account on HN specifically to post it.

I made it up to "this were all men" and "this isn't about me, it's about hatred of women" and I remorselessly closed the window as if I stepped into a quarrel that is none of my business. In my universe there is no such thing as "hatred of women" and the psychopathic misogynists are like UFOs. I keep hearing about them but I have never seen any.
