From trashy one-liners to unsolicited nude pics, it’s no secret that women receive a lot of questionable content from men they never asked for.
In fact, a study showed that 1 in 4 millennial men (27%) have sent a "d-pic" to a woman. Moreover, of millennial men who have sent a lewd photo, 24% have done so without being asked.
And while not every man pushes the chat with a woman that far, the rude texts they dare to press “send” come in all shapes. Like, being a jerk and telling a woman she’s ugly, manipulating her, or using misogyny. It's obvious that way too many women are forced to face such disrespect on a daily basis.
And thanks to women on TikTok, who decided to expose such cases by sharing the rudest texts they ever received from men, this awful problem is finally put into the spotlight and makes us rethink what’s normal and what’s not in men texting women.

At Least He Had A Plan
When Why Is He Asking For Them
But It's All Love So It's Fine
If you’re a woman, you most likely know very well how it feels to protect yourself from online abuse and harassment. In many cases, it feels like women have this “unjust burden” thrown at them which is only getting worse with each new way of communication. Imagine men who would have never considered standing on a street corner in a trench coat are now bullying and harassing women they meet online. How did it happen?

I Honestly Didn’t Even Know How To Respond To This
The experts now say that sexual harassment made online is no less dangerous to a victim than physical harassment done in real life. “It is inevitable that some of these people will then go on to commit contact sexual offenses, but it is not possible to say at this time what sort of proportion that is,” Clare McGlynn, Professor of Law and expert in image-based sexual abuse, from Durham Law School, told HuffPost UK.

Reality Of Dating In 2020
Meanwhile, Laura Thompson, a lead researcher at City University, believes that with the digital age and more and more platforms coming out, people always find a way to weaponize them. Moreover, according to her, “while women seem to have largely accepted this as part of the unwritten laws of internet interaction, finding the solution to this type of abuse should not fall into the laps of victims because it 'curtails women’s opportunities.'”
Laura believes that it’s “unfair to expect women to be continually self-policing and every time they want to use some function online, they need to think about how it might be misused by someone else and we can’t scare women off using the internet, or smartphone technology, because it is simply not fair.”

I think I was coming up against these guys, I'd stay single forever. Ha, ha, ha..
I agree! Dating has gotten stupid. Or at least brings it out in people on all those apps. *SMH*
Load More Replies...Modern internet dating sites give you a chance to sort out the creeps without the bother of having to actually meet them first.
Oh my f*****g God, these guys are...I can't even think of a word to use, they're so far beyond cringe!!
I know! I can't believe there are people out there that are this clueless in how to interact with the opposite sex. I'm really intrigued by the who, how and why people come to believe that these comments are normal and how they come to expect any reaction other than disgust? I don't get it, these people have some type of mental handicap..
