“let’s take for example Amanda Todd …
let’s look at the core issue here misogyny,
sexism, exploitation and abuse of young

blaming Amanda Todd …’well, she
shouldn’t have sent those pictures, what
was she thinking, like, this girl’s a slut!’
and it reinforces that, and so, those
ideologies contribute to rape victims
being –’well, what were you doing
walking alone at 12 o’clock anyways?’”
