Leaked Celebrity photos

Upon first hearing about the leaked photos, of many popular female celebrities, I was like the many who jumped to the ignorant conclusion that these celebrities themselves were to blame for the photos being leaked. If you take a risque picture as such, then it should be no surprise if somehow it does get leaked; well that's what I thought before I read this article.
Forbes: Nude photos

This article is fairly well written, and very ambitious as it calls out how we as a society view the incident, and subjugate the celebrity women to live at a higher standard to that of which we, average people, conform to. Instead of calling out the women for the photos, the author states we should :" (be) focusing on lessening men's “demand” to view women as purely a disposable commodity." This, I believe, is a very true point; one that often isn't stated in the general public.

Women, celebrity or not, should not be held to a higher standard than that of the average male in regards to taking personal photos. If a women wants to take a photo and keep it on her phone, no matter what the reason is, they should have their right of privacy in doing so. It makes little sense to judge someone to have their own privacy; do we get judged every time we take a private photo, or do something private? No, the answer is short and sweet. It would be an entirely different game if all of these celebrities went to playboy and had a photo shoot, or if they were just messing around on instagram and decided to show it all; but that's not the case. Yet, that most of the general public is viewing this whole incident asso , a deliberate attempt of the celebrities to get these photos out into the general eye; yet in reality, they couldn't want more of the opposite.  These celebrities are held to such a high standard, and us being human and all look for any reason at all to judge someone that is deemed to be "more important than us", this is why the biggest deal of this controversy is made out of Jennifer Lawrence and her photos, as she is probably the most famous actress in the world right now.
These celebrities have been a victim of a malicious attack on to what little privacy they have, and America hasn't seen that yet. We need to combat the real problem here: the hackers and all the men who subjugate the women by looking at their private photos.

Z-Fly out.
