Why do women allow men to urinate, defecate, or ejaculate on their face? Regarding the latter feminist author Andrea Dworkin wrote that "The ejaculation on her is a way of saying (through showing) that she is contaminated with his dirt; that she is dirty."
On August 31st 2014 the first round of The Fappening was dropped. Since then there have been multiple rounds released. I have no idea how many images are currently out there. Among the celebrities targeted Jennifer Lawrence had pornographic images of herself, which she was storing on her cell phone, stolen and posted on the internet. In this month's issue of Vanity Fair she blames everybody for her misfortune including the government, the owner's of the web pages, any person that views the images, and the entire world, stating "I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world." Some of the participants she specifically chose to not blame were the photographer, the model that posed submissively with a large amount of semen deposited on her face, and the dumb-ass that was storing such images on her cell phone. I want to clarify that in my opinion she did nothing wrong by taking the pictures, but if she wants to create a list of "who's to blame" then she should start at the beginning of the chain.

In my lifetime, and on separate occasions, I have been caught in the middle of a gang shoot out, robbed at gun point, assaulted by strangers, and witnessed my fifteen year old neighbor murdered by a stray drive-by bullet. I am pretty sure I have never said "I can’t believe that we even live in that kind of world." If she is struggling with the fact that somebody stole her porno pictures and posted them on the internet, then I think it's fair to question her grasp on reality. This isn't something that only happens to celebrities. "Ex-girlfriend" web sites, displaying these type of images of non-celebrities, have existed almost as long as the internet has been around. We have all heard the stories about teenage girls killing themselves over the same experiences Jennifer Lawrence is going through right now. I guess in her opinion the subject wasn't important until it happened to her.
In the article she tries to put a spin on her participation by saying she was in a loving, four year, long-distance relationship and for fear that her man might view porn, she created the images as an alternative. I have been in love. I didn't show my love by telling my woman to get on her knees while I marked her as my territory. If her man was looking at porn of her then he was watching other porn as well, but I am sure she knows that. All things considered, including the fact that she is no longer in this relationship, it kind of seems like it probably wasn't as loving as she describes, or possibly she just has no idea what love really is.
The day the Vanity Fair article was released, her Wikipedia page was bombarded with nude photos of her.

So if her goal was to get people to stop talking about her, or to stop posting photos of her, then she failed.
Personally I think, with the article, she was hoping to portray herself as a strong woman. Out of all the celebrities involved, her images were some of the most degrading. I wouldn't say that she set feminism back, but she certainly showed that she is no supporter of its cause. On a core level, I am sure that is what is bothering her more than the fact that people saw her boobies. As a result she blamed the world instead of just saying "I like dirty sex and it's none of your fucking business."
Changing the subject for a second, lets take a walk down memory lane. Do you remember in 2012 when everybody and their dog's cousin had Stop Sopa & Pipa on their social network sights / Facebook profile picture?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_SOPA_and_PIPA
I was the only person I knew that was in favor of the laws. My argument at the time was:
"Just because something is available (the internet) does not mean you are entitled to it. Opium, a product of nature, was once legal in every country. It was the action of it's abusers that dictated the need for it's control."
The people that opposed the law (pretty much everybody) stated that once the government started putting restrictions on the internet, then the process would be never ending. I wonder how Jennifer Lawrence felt about Sopa/Pipa? As far as that goes, any and all of the celebrities targeted by the hackers, I wonder on which side of that argument each of them stood. Sopa/Pipa pertained to copyrighted material, and not specifically to what has happened to them, but in this Vanity Fair article she is crying that the government hasn't done something about what is happening on the internet, so one thing does have something to do with the other.
And she is not alone.

The woman targeted are banning together and threatening to sue Google. The key part of that statement is the word "threatening." I am sure if anybody threatens to sue Google they just say "Cool, get in line." With more money than these woman would be willing to spend, and a far superior legal team, I am sure Google isn't staying up worrying about this threat, if they even consider it a threat.
It is a tired cliche, but it remains true. You can't have your cake and eat it too. The internet needs to be regulated. If all you ladies worked together, and were willing to accept the fact that with the regulations you want, there will also be regulations you don't want, I think you could use this situation to bring about the change you desire.
Admittedly I have seen a fair amount of the images that were released. According to Jennifer Lawrence that makes me a sex offender, but according to Jennifer Lawrence love is demonstrated by a man subjugating a woman, soooo yeah. Back in September my first impression was, "Why are there so many images of Jennifer Lawrence?" and then as I went through all of them I noticed that most of the images of the other ladies are just nudes. The majority of them could be printed in Playboy while some of her photos wouldn't be allowed in Hustler. When talking to my daughters about all the leaked images her name was the only one to come up. I told them "Don't be as stupid as Jennifer Lawrence." Then yesterday, after reading sections from the recent article, I reminded my daughters what I told them back in September and said "Nevermind, I am beginning to think that nobody is as stupid as Jennifer Lawrence."
