Word on the series of tubes is that they were leaked from an exclusive private celebrity naked pic sharing network (who probably didn't want the attention). I haven't seen many of them because my internet connection is too slo... err, because I have no interest in contributing to such a depraved and unjustifiable act. Also, if Manwe disappears for a few days, now you know why.
Liberals (especially feminists) are also livid at the breach of privacy resulting from uploading your naked pics to a remote server.

I find little to disagree with any of this. I just don't understand why Jessica Valenti thinks any of this is a problem.
Some person I never heard of further elaborates on the same themes:
Psychic violence, not just for Professor X anymore.
Recommended links under the same article:
"Finally, someone tried weed lube and wrote about it" next to a woman's face in what is presumably mid orgasm.
"Keira Knightley's topless shoot powerful and feminist"
My stance on this issue can be summed up as:
"Good, Good"
For some reasons liberal true believers thought they could unleash the sexual liberation beast while restraining typically male (and especially teenager) behavior in this regard (and others). Times will be very interesting when the 4chan generation grows up and instead of dealing with weak, ineffective Christian Conservatives the chief opposition of progressives will be Gentleman Rapist Trolls.

There is an obsessive tendency in American culture with elevating women—young, beautiful women, especially—to celebrity status just to bask in their eventual fall. There’s also a tendency in American culture, meanwhile, to shame women for their sexuality. So I would not be surprised in the days ahead to see arguments as to why this is somehow the fault of the celebrities whose phones were hacked—that these women took the pictures, that they were posing, that generating publicity is part of their job.
But victim-blaming is just that, no matter how famous the victim is. We live in a culture with a peculiar relationship to female celebrity. In much the same way that misogyny tells men that women are there for male consumption, the public and media tell us that famous women are public property. It’s why models and pageant queens are expected to smile graciously and respond to horny teen boys asking them to prom, or why they’re called uptight xes if they don’t smile for every camera shoved in their face. The underlying premise is that these women have consented to being there for public entertainment—whether they like it or not.

There are a few different issues that a criminal act like this brings up, but before I get into them it's necessary to make one thing clear: If you deliberately seek out any of these images, you are directly participating in the violation not just of numerous women's privacy but also of their bodies. These images - which I have not seen and which I will not look for - are intimate, private moments belonging only to the people who appear in them and who they have invited to see them. To have those moments stolen and broadcast to the world is an egregious act of psychic violence, which constitutes a form of assault.
The people sharing these images are perpetuating an ongoing assault. The people gleefully looking at them are witnessing and enjoying an ongoing assault. When you have been asked by victims of a crime like this not to exacerbate the pain of that crime and you continue to do so anyway, you are consciously deciding that your enjoyment, your rights and perhaps even just your curiosity are more important than the safety and dignity of the people you're exploiting.
