“"What unites creepshots, the Middleton photographs, the revenge porn websites," says Franks, "is that they all feature the same fetishisation of non-consensual sexual activity with women who either you don't have any access to, or have been denied future access to. And it's really this product of rage and entitlement."”
“The guy on the subway who took a creepshot of my cleavage of his phone, making nausea spill over my insides. That was rape culture.”
“'Thais in tights, I tell you,' he sniggers, his mind doing such an obscene variation of the creepshot he's just surreptitiously taken on his cell phone that I want to gag.”
