Dan's thoughts on the moral outrage about 'sexting'.

[MoldytoasterMedia]

this guy is such a pervert.

[SpearofDestiny0]

OMG I Love Dan Savage

[lisambofoh]

I normally don't call sexism left and right because I think issues can be more complicated than that, but Dan's right on about young women not owning their own bodies. Everyone wants their teenage daughters to be pure and spotless, but it's normal if their sons aren't.

[Vaeviktis]

That, is my dick. Swing on it.

[inflate98]

You seem to say that all our problems will fly away, once all the "old people" are gone. Your pumped up arms speak volumes about your self-regard, and what really matters to you - which is apparently an insatiable desire to be loved. Well, I don't love you. Swing on it.

[squamish4244]

@inflate98 Every generation has complained about the next generation's 'moral degradation.' Two thousand years ago, a Roman philosopher complained about the 'moral degradation' of the youth of his day. Based on that reasoning, we'd all have regressed to single-celled organisms by now. People start bitching about the younger generations once they get old enough to get resentful. And I'm not exactly a spring chicken anymore, so you're not hearing this from some teenager.

[inflate98]

"...and now can't - because no one wants to see them naked."  Ageist, much, Dan?

[squamish4244]

@inflate98 Maybe, but it's true. Nobody wants to see them naked.

[atomiclovekaboom]

@squamish4244

I do!

[nikoincroatia]

That president should be you Dan!

[ifthisisthelife]

the advertisements are offering me a holyland-pilgrimage to israel. wtf?

[insaneduck16]

omg i lovehim so much

[squamish4244]

One 18 year-old girl hanged herself after her boyfriend forwarded naked pictures of her to a bunch of people at school...he's the one who is at fault, for being an asshole.

[Child3o3]

Funny and no nonsense at the same time .. love it! ★

[darrenholcomb42]

There's no such thing as illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents.

[TheJadeSabre]

no pictures of dick... this is pre weinergate

[makenna88]

This is the first thing I thought of when I heard. Smart man, Mr. Savage.

[MagillaCutty519]

Visited here again after Weinergate... Damn, this guy is prescient. 

[docatomics]

...eye put my full monty on the net last week in a private call to my sweetheart, and of course the signal was stolen and copied, good luck controlling me with your crimes you shills,

~ if you dare expose yourself to try; as I all ready know each and every data base & line that my encoded picture in picture has been opened in, ha ha ha, control yourself or get my fist !

[timray99]

a father who plays outside of the marriage is how Africa ended up the AIDS Capitol of the World

[gcclarke1]

The whole "someone's political career has been ruined by sexting" thing has already started.

[DEVB0T]

@JimmyPi314 the whole point is, why IS it slutty for a girl to have pics of her tits online or to send a pic of them to someone she wants to show them to. A guy does something like that and its "boys will be boys" a girl does it and its slutty. cos, as Dan says, girls dont have the right to do such things, their bodies dont belong to them, they belong to men. and hopefully thats what'll change. then everyone wont have "dirty" pictures online. they'll just have pictures. of their tits. big deal.

[JonathanBloggs]

@DEVB0T Because in an evolutionary sense the consequences of female promiscuity is greater for the family than male promiscuity. A father fucks around and nothing happens, he can come back to his wife and still help raise her kids, he can still provide them food. A female fucks around and that's a whole year of someone else's genes getting in the way of yours, that's some other guy's kid you have to feed, taking food out of the mouths of your kids.

I'm not saying it's right or fair btw

[karahershey]

when clebs sexist it makes them more  fam

[karahershey]

your right thats so sexist and so true

[JimmyPi314]

"everybody is gonna have dirty pics online". Thats not gonna happen. Many women would prefer not to have themselves portrayed as a "slut".

[drealgrin]

@JimmyPi314 Hopefully only the fatties.



[ianmboyd1]

Brilliantly spoken. =)

[dsalmeron]

I love the comment at 3:40

[MATHGODpi]

just watched doogie horner and then this vid... dan savage is 100x funnier

[TheBeanandcheese]

Ya I agree with this..but I also don't think 12 year old kids should be doing it and they are. Does that make me old fashioned? I don't think so.

[kiwisunshine5233]

@dajamesbomb2005 Its not like I'm saying its okay. There are consequences beyond legal ones. The only legal consequences should just be for the police to inform the parents and to teach the kid why they shouldn't be sending nude pictures.

[DoltMasher]

Great video!

People really don't get the irony in this ongoing 'sexting' crisis. When I was a teen I ddin't see pictures of tits, I saw REAL tits. On occasion I was actually permitted to use my sense of touch to enhance the experience (touching without permission invoked undesirable consequences). Girls were in complete control.

Dan's acknowledgement of the double standard is spot on and its existence is lamentable. If we were all still teens, this would be a non-issue.

[Ryno706]

Juvenile

[donashcroft93]

XD i have sent pics of my dick to a boy it no big deal =)

[xxBlacksundayxx]

@donashcroft93

Keep it to yourself

You are what,16? Thats illegal

[rodittis]

And here I thought "sexting" was just sending naughty text messages to someone. LOL! I am soooo out of it...

[lorezapocalypse]

@dajamesbomb2005 Digital technology has created an environment where censorship is not possible. You can talk about a middle ground all you want, but the technology isn't meeting people in the middle, its on the side of a scary, extreme form of freedom. Well, scary and extreme to some people.

[dustin60671]

I love Dan Savage

[ickaickaicka]

PREACH!

[recoil669]

Not to mention the fact that the old people who're old now will be dead.

[karahershey]

so so true 

[HOPSCOTCHPIRATE]

im replaying this. Dan, you pwn.

[koishiou]

Here here Dan : ) Anyone accusing him of being a misogynist can now look to this for proof that at least regarding some aspects of female sexuality discourse, he knows his sh*t.

[rozax740]

@koishiou "Hear, hear" is the spelling. Not trolling, just informing. It's an easy typo.

Though I'm not one to send naked pictures of myself over the tubes, it is nice to hear a man defending female sexuality.

[EyeLean5280]

@rozax740, really? "hear, hear"? What's the background on that, if you don't mind taking a moment to explain. Thanks.

[Orville9999]

I agree with him most of the time but this opinion of his is bullshit. the boys who receive these pictures from their girlfriends get prosecuted for possession of child pornography much more than girls do. If anyone has numbers to prove me wrong feel free to share them.

[MagnusIan]

I can't wait until the day we have a presidential candidate who admits "Yeah, I masturbated furiously to pictures of Scarlett Johansson. What straight guy didn't? How many times in a day? Uhhhhhh, about 6."

[kiwisunshine5233]

@dajamesbomb2005 If a 13 year old girl/guy sends pictures of their junk or tits, they shouldn't be arrested at all for it. Its as stupid as a 13 yr old masturbating and being arrested for "child molestation". Its up to the parents to teach their kids not to send nude pictures of themselves, but if it happens, it happens and there is nothing we can really do about it.

[NinkaPanda]

@kiwisunshine5233 HELLO! Thats CHILD PORNOGRAPHY! 16 years old and under!!

[kiwisunshine5233]

@NinkaPanda There is a BIG difference between child abusers raping kids on camera for money, and a kid just taking a picture of his/her own body. A child shouldn't be arrested and put in jail just for doing something that can't [physically] harm anyone.

[SessKo]

Dan Savage releases his inner feminist, nice. =)

[TheBigMclargehuge]

SWING ON IT!

[TheNoWayOut85]

Those are my tits... but I didn't inhale! lol

[Goobian]

On a recent episode of Penn and Teller Bullshit there was a 12 year old boy that got a picture sent of a 12 yo girl naked from another 12 year old boy. He told his best friend about it. His best friend said if you don't send it to me I will not be your friend anymore. So he sent it and felt so bad he deleted it right after wards. The next day he went to school and 25 other boys had the picture and they all got arrested for sending child porn. The charges got dropped on him fortunately.

[abmindprof]

You forgot to mention that they'll be persecuting something new from younger people when they're old. Just don't want the young 'uns to feel too morally superior.

[pendulousphallus]

I want to buy Dan a beer.

[shatani]

hahaha....bushels of coke. i love it!

[RassieDog]

love Dan

[integral]

love dan savage

and I wonder if I can sell my sex tape before it's so commonplace

that there won't be a market for sex tapes? ;)

[losermilkshake10]

dan savage needs to be president

[IoEstasCedonta]

In the future, everyone will have a fifteen-minute-long sex tape.

[valhar2000]

If it were up to me, the people who expel these girls for "sexting" would be sentenced to years of hard labor.

[Divinity33372]

VERY true. As a sex workers advocate one of the main issues I have to deal with is women not owning their bodies out right. WIN video.

[rileypam]

one of the problems is the huge distraction this causes in school. Learning of a different type does occur I suppose, but not Algebra.... haha no, i make bad pun, but it IS a concern there. I wouldn't expel the girl but her cell phone privileges maybe could exit the building.

[Inaneen]

Gademit, watched all 96 videos in the past two days and as I subscribed to your channel, the ugly reality is, that you probably will not upload 90 videos or sth in the next two days. Can I still hope?

[morsa575]

Insightful and hilarious as always. Well done.

[phleba23]
