I am all for privacy, but public is public. Are you suggesting women somehow deserve more dignity than men? Or just that our public perception is skewed?
I find your post confusing. While an appeal to privacy for the homeless makes sense, these men have (hypothetically) a choice to go home, or elsewhere, even if inconvient. I realize the article is hinting that the choice is not as voluntary as they would perfer, but that is a very different set of value judgements.
- stef25 8y agoThe Guardian gleefully posts anything poking fun or criticism at men but doing the same to women is totally off limits. OP is totally right in that sense. Even above the fold of their homepage they usually have one or two pieces about social justice. Then there's a steady stream of columnists that publish a daily stream of outrage pieces. It's almost not a newspaper anymore but more of an activist-paper.
- GarrisonPrime 8y agoI think they are suggesting that the invasion of privacy going on here would be more obvious to us if the images were of women. And your implication that these men don’t deserve for us to respect their dignity is absurd. Making choices you don’t agree with doesn’t invalidate their humanity.
