When it comes to the sharing of R-rated photos, men and women are held to drastically different standards. In fact, the same men who slut-shame women for dressing in revealing outfits often strip down themselves. Lindsey, the woman behind the Twitter account @CardsAgstHrsmt, has made it her mission to call out these "#ShirtlessShamers." And she's just spotted one of the biggest hypocrites on the Internet.
"Girls who post half naked photos get 300 notifications and 200 friend requests,” he wrote in what looks like a Facebook post. "Girls who don't post half naked photos get 5 notifications and respect." The irony: This dude is the king of shirtless selfies (and takes the cheesiest kind too).
In a Twitter thread below a screen grab of this post, @CardsAgstHrsmt gives a brilliant analysis of why the simple act of a woman posing in underwear angers guys like this so much. "To these guys, women's nudity is a valued product of sorts, so 'giving it away' for attention/internet karma is part of their criticism," Lindsey wrote. "These guys aren't okay w/ women getting paid actual money to expose their bodies either, though. They shame dancers/sex workers/models, too. Moreover, when women are half-naked for social or political reasons (bodyposi, slutwalk, etc.) these guys express total, angered confusion. And so it seems the only context of nudity they can accept is nudity 'bestowed' privately to a boyfriend/husband."

She's right to call this out as a general pattern: The Internet is rife with guys like these.
