But the article doesn't really ring true at all, since it's full of unsubstantiated facts and ridiculous opinions about Pearl, and Jason actually paints himself as more of a dirtbag by suggesting every guy in his position would take the pictures he did. The article's standard issue gossip garbage. The reaction, to me, does ring true; look at how many people are judgmental over things like nude pictures being leaked - a good portion of people will judge the actress or celebrity involved as if they're at fault.
Another matter entirely, but also look at the initial reaction to the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie relationship. Everyone loves them now, but back when news first broke, the number of people calling Jolie a homewrecker and accusing her of stealing Pitt from Jennifer Aniston was astonishing, given a lot of what we heard was merely tabloid crap. But the amount of scorn that a woman can get in the tabloid press and the reaction to it does seem crazy compared to the usual response to stuff a man does, except in rare cases like the Tiger Woods thing.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
