This is not a news article<\/a>\u2014this is a rant from an old person who is concerned about the activities of the current younger generations<\/a>. There is no source for this article although it is the result of the news we have recently seen about the scandal in the Marine Corps<\/a> regarding nude pictures<\/a> and videos. Admittedly, I come from a generation that was more accustomed to privacy<\/a>\u2014we didn\u2019t have Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Snapchat<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, etc. to post pictures of our lunch and other activities. The older generation had a different concept of privacy than the current generations.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t find it odd that men would look at pictures of naked women. I don\u2019t find it odd that a man would look at an explicit video. I do question the wisdom of the women posting these pictures or videos. A good rule of thumb is to never put anything on the internet that you wouldn\u2019t mind seeing on the front page of The New York Times<\/a> or on the evening news. Even if the pictures of videos were not intended for the internet, there is no guarantee when you give a person a picture or a video that the picture or video will never be seen by anyone else. Again, wisdom is called for. Never put anything on film or in your phone or laptop that you don\u2019t want to go public. These pictures and videos could create a serious problem if a future employer were to see them.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what the eventual punishment of the people involved in this scandal will be. It is my hope that the people who created the pictures and videos will be disciplined as well as those who set up the Facebook page to view them. There are no victims here\u2014the women who created the pictures and videos are not victims\u2014the pictures and videos were created with their consent. They are guilty of bad judgement, just as the men who set up the Facebook page are guilty of bad judgement.<\/p>\n

As I have previously stated, I am part of a generation that believed in privacy. These pictures and videos devalue the women that made them. They are the result of the lies that many women are told about their value and about their role as women. \u00a0My advice to a woman whose boyfriend or husband asks for such a picture or video is to find another boyfriend of husband. You are worth more than that.<\/p>\n

I am sure there will be some serious consequences for the people involved in this scandal. It is my hope that they will learn from their mistakes and be more prudent in their actions in the future. I also hope that the women involved begin to realize their true worth and that the men involved begin to respect the women in their lives rather than viewing them as sex objects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
