9. what are your thoughts about the growing number of these groups?
“Alarming because anyone could be a victim of these hidden groups in social media.” “It scares me, that maybe I could be a victim too.” “These groups violate women's rights, see them as nothing more than sex objects, and it's scary to to think they feel it is 'normal' because everyone is doing it. I feel angry, sad and at the same time scared. Anyone can be a victim.”
the problem
“Alarmed dahil maraming member yung group and gumagamit pala sila ng terms na "pastor", "amen", etc.” “I feel sorry for the people who have the audacity to humiliate and make fun of these innocent people just to satisfy the cravings of their flesh.” “Random men are involved in those groups, some of them are uneducated and some are privileged. For me, the best thing to do as a social media user is to report those groups and support movements against the harassment of women. Online sexual harassment is real and must gain more attention from the government. Also, I think our president himself influences a lot of men that it is "okay" to make fun of women and treat US as sexual objects.” “Sobrang nagagalit ako bakit nagiging ganito na kabastos yung mga tao. Yung mga lalake walang respeto sa mga babae. Parang walang mga nanay. Yung mga babae din na iba mismo walang respeto sa sarili nila.” “This is very alarming and frightening at the same time. This shows that in today's society, objectification of women, misogyny, harassment, and rape culture is rampant. What’s more alarming is that alongside these issues, comes victim blaming. Women should never be the ones to cater to what is ‘socially acceptable’.”
