Tim Paine caught in sexting scandal, resigns as Test Captain

how is it a sad world that people suffer consequences for their actions, actions which violate others and could cause trauma?

the world is a far better place than it ever has been, purely because this sh*t is no longer considered acceptable.

Cricket Australia and Cricket Tasmania investigated, both said he had nothing to answer for. That was 4 years ago. Media get hold of it and all of a sudden he is the worst guy in the world for doing something that young people frequently do.

The world is not a better place, in fact it could not be in a worse spot than it is now. Everyone is to scared to speak in case someone gets offended. Mental health, anxiety and depression are spreading like a plague. How is it better?
 
Are you famous? If the answer is no it’s likely she would have deleted it not long after.

I remember having this convo with some female friends after the Jon Patton scandal, all of them said they’ve received lots of those pics and never kept them, but if they had one of a famous person…
She was friends with my sister in-law so didn't know what she'd do if it ended badly

Revenge pr0n does happen to non-famous people too, believe it or not.
 
I was asked to send a dick pic to a girl I had slept with a few times. I didnt do it knowing it would probably get out when our relationship ended.

All I ever get is unsolicited UAP messages from old mate Craig Kelly.

Disgusting stuff.
 
Right......that makes sense

In your example, a dick pic from you is ok and a dick pick from a rapist isn't ok.

No mate the context is different.

When a bloke is going on a Tinder date he's thinking on some level 'I hope she's not too crazy and I get to bang her tonight'.

When a chick is going on a Tinder date, she's thinking on some level 'I hope this dude isnt a creep who rapes me and buries me in a shallow grave tonight'.

The context is totally different. If you cant see that, then Im not sure what I can do to help you see it.
 
The way I see it is just view it the same as in person flirting. If you were chatting someone up and then suddenly dropped your dacks you'd be viewed as an absolute psycho.
Exactly. This new age of technology has completely changed the way personal relationships are conducted. Texting is an amazing innovation, but so open to abuse and misuse.

You could flip that very easily to say far less people are actually getting offended because people realised the words they use are actually harmful, so therefore the world is far better. I'm being facetious, but there is a lot of evidence out there (even a simple google search like "Is the world better now than it used to be" will give you a plethora of reading options) that living today is better than days gone by.
 
So you don't just delete it and tell him 'that's inappropriate'?

Wasn't an issue for her until she got caught stealing, I find that more intriguing

I don't really care about the woman's actions. We don't have the full details, so I'm reluctant to cast judgement.

Above all else, I just think Paine is an idiot.

That's not sexist at all

The more relevant context is the existing relationship between the two people who knew each other, rather than these offensive gender stereotypes.

Having said that, I think the poster who said, "It's like flirting F2F in real life and then just whipping it out" - that's not really something we'd consider acceptable, likewise with dick pics - although the absence of immediate physical proximity does lessen it a LITTLE bit.

Handy to hang onto it (the pic), you never know when it might be useful (the pic).
:tearsofjoy:
 
Trying being a little less sexist and you might see it a little different?

Its not being sexist to suggest that the context is different.

If you and your wife both (at the same time) got unsolicited nudes from someone each of you work for (you a nude woman pic, her a dick pic) who is going to be more scared going into work the next day with the person that send those pictures?

You or her?

And why?

Its that exact context you're pretending doesn't exist, but it does. They're not the same thing.
 
May as well bring Carey as keeper.

Question is whether look to the future with giving Head captaincy or revert back to Smith.... as doubt would want to overburden Cummins.
Smith will have to take it back I think. Carey could come in and do both the keeping and captain but I think Inglis is the better keeper but not as good of a batsman. So my guess is Smith to captain and Inglis to Keep wickets.

Mate, I'm not saying its a hangable offence. He acted like a bit of a creep. That's about it.

I'm just pointing out to people trying to ignore the context, that you cant.

The world IS a much, much better place.

FFS back at uni near the start of this century, learning about the Internet, we also learned that more than half the world's population had never made a phone call.

Not the case now. Even some of the poorest people have phones with camera and Internet. Much, much harder to cover up horrible behaviour than it used to be. For every bad thing we hear about in third world countries today - just imagine what shit they got away with before communications were what they are now.


But we digress

Kind of tangential and not that related to your overall point, but I think while less physically intimidating than it is for women, I do think men are more (or at least as) vulnerable to psychological damage from sexual harassment since most peers and support network subscribe to the view that all men want sex and sexual attention 100% of the time so there is often little to no sympathy for male victims of sexual harassment.
 
Context.

Sexual violence isn't equal each way. It's much more likely an unsolicited dick pick could freak out a woman or make her feel uncomfortable more so than an unsolicited female nude sent to a bloke.

Don't know too many blokes who got scared from an unsolicited nude of a woman. Usually it's quite the opposite.

The inverse is not true though whe it comes to women getting dick picks without notice.

So essentially, if a guys sleeps with his underage female student, he should be lynched but if a female teacher sleeps with her underaged male student, it should be all sweet because context? :think:
