Horrifyingly, one in five men have shared nudes of women they know online according to the Revenge Porn Helpline. But wherever you look, men are sharing women’s naked bodies without their consent.‘My god you’re so lucky bro Jesus,’ one poster congratulates another. Some use Dropbox, some use Snapchat, some use the file storage service Mega. As you scroll through the site, full frontal photos of men’s wives, girlfriends and roommates are plastered across forums, with Kik and Telegram contact details attached with a promise of further trading. This is just one of endless Reddit posts that offers women’s nudes up for ‘trade’ as if they’re football cards in a playground. ‘Sharing girlfriend’s nudes!’ the caption tells the forum’s thousands of followers without an echo of shame. With her bra pulled down beneath her nipples, the woman sits on her bed and pulls down the band of her maroon gym shorts with her thumb. Her face is cropped out as if she always suspected her nudes might be shared.
