Even without the market for them, pictures like that can be compromising for those of us who actually care about our careers or professional life.

Anyways, I don't know what to say to make you feel better. I hope that you find somebody soon. I wish you the best.
Thanks, Darkness. I'm just so tired of these comments like "you knew he was in porn so what did you expect?" Like anyone deserves to be degraded and treated like an object or that it's okay for him or any other man to do that because of their profession, and it's MY responsibility to take for their actions?! Are you ****ing kidding me? That's like saying it's okay for construction workers to catcall a good looking woman or for you to get groped because you wore a short skirt. It doesn't matter what profession he was in; it doesn't make his behavior or any of those men's behavior okay. And no, I didn't miss red flags because if I was missing flags I would still be talking to the guy, but I ended the conversation immediately. I had complete respect for myself and said no and ended it.

I can't believe that on PC I would have to deal with slut shaming and victim blaming like this. It's supposed to be a supportive place.

When someone posts that they feel degraded by the behavior of men online, the supportive response would be something like, I'm sorry those men are making you feel that way. Not, well it's your own fault for having the conversation...especially when I started the entire thread saying it's not my fault and I won't let you make me feel like it is.
