“If you didn’t want your photo digitally altered and turned into sexual content you shouldn’t have posted it online” is the social media version of “if you didn’t want to be raped you shouldn’t have worn a short skirt.”
Women are not responsible for the predatory actions of men.
Men can’t stand any female representation.
They hate women so much that they’ll sexualize even paintings of women doing yoga.

They’re doing this as a message to all women.
“If you step out of your house, we will abuse you”. It’s a lesson.

They only want to see men everywhere. They believe women should be confined to their homes.
To their kitchens and bedrooms.
As their slaves.
“The baby you aborted could have cured cancer”
The Woman who died in childbirth could have cured cancer!
The woman who you locked in the kitchen could have cured cancer!
The women who die from abuse every year could have cured cancer!!
Maybe we need livable wage. Compassion. Affordable housing. Compassion. More funding for programs and shelters, mental health support for the homeless. Compassion.
