Yes, that is a reasonable line. The big difference that I see is, if someone is waving his genitals in my face I may fear he may come unto me, rub his penis against me or whatever else.
A dick pic is just that, a picture of a penis. I'm not sure what we're enforcing when we ban other people from exposing themselves to others is 'showing genitals to others' but rather 'behaving very sexually aggressive towards someone else'. And you can't really argue that with an anonymous dick pic.
Of course dick pics are rude, but arguing they are just the same as exposing yourself in public seems ingenuous
- flycaliguy 7y agoEverything about sending a women a dick pic from the other side of a subway ride is threatening. Since she will have to step off the subway and walk to her destination alone, I consider it a serious offense.
- michaelcampbell 7y agoHow about a picture of a gun? A knife? A baseball bat? ... carried by a little leaguer in his team photo? Where is that line drawn? </rhetorical>
- michaelcampbell 7y agoI knew this would get downvoted, instead of actually answered. Emotional arguments are easy to make, but hard to justify.
- gowld 7y agoWould it somehow be better if the perp didn't airdrop a duck pic... And then followed her off the subway?
- oh_sigh 7y agoSo if a perv is on an empty subway platform, there should be no punishment if he exposes himself to people on the train after the doors have closed? Those people have no realistic fear that he could get into the train or get in anyones face at that point.
- Joe-Z 7y agoHa, nice one! :) Sure he would be punished, but who'd call him out for it? I guess it'd rather be the people coming into the subway station after the train has left than the ones in the train.
