Social media are not the right arena for serious accusations of this nature. There is no proper right of reply or sensible expectation of redress. Like the thoughtless sharing of over-explicit photographs, it will end in tears.

I still can't read whatever the original link led to, so I may well be completely out of order here; I am basing this response solely on Sam's last post.

I am a woman (up to a point) and, like Bartleby, I would prefer not to. Other women may, of course, do as they see fit.

However, may I make a serious request? Please do not let anything of this accusatory nature overlap into Eratosphere.
I see your point, Anne. Particularly the "come on, baby, gives us the images bit". Important dimension. But the entire discussion is taking place on social media. How would it not, at this point? Maybe you mean something else than I think? I suppose it was inevitable that an inaccessible original subject of the thread would lead us each to our own concerns. But I always value yours.
