A few days ago, pictures from iCloud accounts belonging to celebrities, notably Jennifer Lawrence's account, were hacked and spread online. While some persons acted like idiots, trying to blame the celebrities for saving their pictures to the Internet, others reacted wisely:
Even worse than seeing women's privacy violated on social media is reading the accompanying comments that show such a lack of empathy.
— Emma Watson (@EmWatson) 1 september 2014Men's accounts leaked = conspiracy. Women's accounts leaked = her stupidity. This is what sexism looks like.
— Kathleen Pye (@KathleenCanada) 1 september 2014"If you don't want nude pics leaked, don't take nude pics with your phone —" *Tasers you* *steals your shoes* SHOULDN'T WEAR SHOES BRO

From this article in the New York Post:
A Columbia University student is carrying her dorm room mattress everywhere she walks on campus to protest the fact that her alleged rapist has not been expelled. Emma Sulkowicz, 21, is using the performance art project as a way to shame the Ivy League school, she told the Columbia Spectator.
“I was raped in my own dorm bed, and since then that space has become fraught for me,” she says in a video.
“I feel like I’ve carried the weight of what happened there with me everywhere since then.”
The senior is one of 23 students that filed a federal complaint against the school for failing to protect them.
