“like, some people refuse to post, like, topless pictures, and they’ll get hate for that. Or if you do post topless pictures, you’ll get hate for that. Or if- pretty much anything you do is something wrong in someone’s eyes.”

URBAN MINOR FOCUS GROUPPARTICIPANT 5
“let’s take for example Amanda Todd … let’s look at the core issue here misogyny, sexism, exploitation and abuse of young girls, no no no! People are too busy victim blaming Amanda Todd …’well, she shouldn’t have sent those pictures, what was she thinking, like, this girl’s a slut!’ and it reinforces that, and so, those ideologies contribute to rape victims being –’well, what were you doing walking alone at 12 o’clock anyways?’”
