		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Privacy isn’t the issue, the issue is humanity not being able to treat well those who choose not to be private.&quot;

This is really the key, isn&#039;t it? Just because I might have a picture of myself on the internet, or an open blog or even (dare I say it) an open Facebook account (I don&#039;t), doesn&#039;t give anyone the right to treat me poorly, badly, violently.

This is the shame about western culture these days. That is really a sweeping statement, I know, but it seems more of Western culture grabs ahold of this than not. That if a female (I don&#039;t put &#039;woman&#039; on purpose - many of those treated/attacked in this way are girls) goes about her life in a way that is slightly more public, she &quot;deserves&quot; to be treated this way. Why? Why does the rest of the population &quot;get&quot; to attack her verbally, physically, emotionally, mentally because she might have a photograph of herself on the web, because she might in a way you don&#039;t like. Even if she dresses provocatively - that still doesn&#039;t mean that one &quot;gets&quot; to attack her. 

It&#039;s not only men though - women attack other women verbally, emotionally....

Does the wider we not have a conscience anymore? Do we not care about each other - have we ever? Do we just see and know more because we&#039;re one big multicultural neighbourhood these days?]]></description>
