I can't find the video but this thread reminds me of the opening scene from the movie Splash where John Candy's character as a kid goes around dropping change and looking up women's skirts. People thought it was cute and funny then...
I'm on the fence on this one...so here is my two cents... Perverts will be perverts, and they will do anything they can to boost their "special excitement". However, yes, it's completely disgusting and horrifying. BUT... girls shouldn't be wearing hardly any clothing and exposing their goods to the public. If I were to wear a skirt I'd make damn sure my junk was covered in any way possible. And I sure as hell wouldn't be sitting anywhere with my skirt open or above someone (stairs, bleachers, etc) where my crotch is on show for everyone to see. Girls need to start using their brains and guys need to stop being so damn desperate. And this goes for female perverts too...a perv isn't just of the male species.
Okay, I just want to chime in here for a second. I understand the whole "women should dress more modestly so it would be harder for these creeps to get their pictures" side of the argument, but what this fails to take into account is that there are legitimate instances where women have to wear skirts. I went to a private school from first to twelfth grade and while we could choose between the uniform slacks and skirt most of the time there were certain days, once a month and on other "special occasions," where we were absolutely required to wear knee-length skirts. Pantyhose and dress shoes were also required of the girls and the guys needed to be in button-downs and ties. Of course I was wearing underwear underneath mine and my skirt was regulation length, but I also had to climb up and down stairs with an armload of books and sit for extended periods of time at a desk or in the bleachers. Trust me, maintaining my modesty was a full-time job some days. I'll be honest- it does make me want to face-palm a little when women wear teeny-tiny mini skirts that barely cover anything and nothing at all underneath and then complain when guys look, but there are still a lot of instances (usually involving some sort of uniform) where women are required to wear skirts. And then there are some who just like dressing up and can do it without making an obvious display of themselves. I really think there should be some sort of legislation in place to protect them. How are the courts supposed to differentiate between a creeper who snaps photos of a woman in the aforementioned mini and one wearing a school uniform? This is a touchy subject and one I don't care to delve too deeply into at the moment, so I am just going to mention it since I feel it's inevitable that someone is eventually going to argue this point from one side or the other- was it her fault that some perv lowers his phone to the right angle and takes her picture because she is wearing a mini? In that case, what other behaviors of his are going to be her fault? It's a slippery slope and you can bet that this argument is going to come up if it hasn't already. I feel like it's one of those cases where it really has to be all-or-nothing to make any sense; either snapping pictures of women's privates without their consent is illegal, period, or it's not a prosecutable offense and women everywhere should begin stocking up on pants.
Focusing on women wearing skirts instead of the perverts who violate their privacy, is just the extension of the rape culture, slut-shaming and victim blaming. There's nothing more to it than trying to equate perpetrator with the victim, in order to excuse the crime.
Funny story. Once when doing a clean out of a prison we found a guy in solitary confinement hiding a square fold up clock in his rectum. I guess he really wanted to know the time.
It's amazing the stuff that can fit up there. If a clock like that can fit, I'm sure a camera part or a smartphone wouldn't be a problem. For some reason this conversation makes me want to listen to 'Stinkfist' by Tool.
He only put it up there because we were searching his cell. I'm not sure how he got it there in the first place.
I love the fact that we can go from upskirting to men shoving clocks up their anus. It just warms my heart.
Often times the things shoved are, apparently, a well-informed opinion. That's what I'm told to try a lot anyway.
Do you think the guy with the clock in his rectum had been reading the nursery rhyme "Hickory dickery dock the mouse ran up the clock?"
