Women are disproportionately the victims of violence world wide? This is apparently completely made up, with no science or statistics to back it up.

End violence against women, but not against men. That the message through exclusion by omission.

A nice and witty way of conveying a relevant message :)

Amazing! Congratulations for this, I´m going to use in my school in Tenerife (Spain), never mind we don´t speak english, because the message is universal and very clear for the entire world. Greetings.

¡Magnifico! Felicitaciones, voy a usarlo en mi escuela en Tenerife (España), no importa que no hablemos inglés, porque el mensaje es universal y muy claro para todo el mundo. Saludos.

also heres a fun fact, the average person is recorded ten times a day by businesses, individuals and and banks. the average person also can now mask their number when sending mms/sms with lil to no skill. Times have changed, things get even scarier once you go deeper...but oh well.

to control the interwebs is to control freedom of speech...talk to coica you two would get along.

but hey press on i guess, you can only hope for a more controlled tomorrow...i say just deal with it be an adult n quit being stupid who you send stuff to.

Also we live in a society of remixing and digital anger, so in short its impossible to end this, cause my M.A.C address as well as my IP shows me in another country and if im gonna take someones photo and do what i please im certainly not going to send it to my victim...thats just dumb!

[brooklynty87]

Okay, for one i would never send out photos, videos, or information to others or social networking sites that i wouldnt want to become public. Two when we sign up for Facebook, twitter, or even email accounts in the terms and agreements it states your pix are now part of their property. Also whenever you send a picture to someone, you are technically giving them the rights to do with it what they may, after whos gonna stop me? This is the price we pay for free social pages.

There are no women on the Internet. Just men pretending to be women.
