Not just women, but children too.
Also, recently a guy in Sweden was busted for using them to cheat during a written driver's license test.
To be fair, it is a threat to everyone
Yeah but some groups of people don't ever seem to matter.
What's the ratio of male perverts covertly recording women to female perverts covertly recording men? Realistically, it's probably a hundred to one.
Is that how you keep yourself from caring about some groups?
No. But you're literally doing "all lives matter" here. A women's group pushes for change, and inevitably on any story about it, there will be a hoard of men not proposing how they can protect men, but whining about why the women's group doesn't worry about the men. You want to make progress on this issue for men? Start your own men's welfare group and be the change you want in the world. Don't just whine when a group advocates for themselves and their issues, and they just don't happen to include you in their target audience.
There is no space in the conversation for some groups and that's by intent.
"Why are people talking about their issues, why aren't they talking about ME?!!"
"Nobody else can talk if you don't shut up about yourself."
How dumb do you have to be to need to cheat a drivers test....
And get caught too...
Here's the article if anyone's interested (in swedish)

Practise test. I got bored before finishing, but its pretty basic
You’d be surprised. We (Driving Theory Test UK) do not allow them into our test lab. They either test without them (locked away) or do not test.
Across our network of test centres there are usually a couple of attempts at cheating each day.
Such as tech assisted, like Meta glasses, or fake licences, or even impersonation.
Some people think it’s beyond them to learn and insist on cheating.
Look I get all the legit reasons to dislike and distrust smart glasses, but I have always wanted an Iron Man-like HUD when looking around.
I just want subtitles in real life
Meta pose a threat
I don't deny these can cause privacy issues as does the ubiquity of small devices with high quality cameras in general but I don't think this law professor really understands the tech very well if she's worried about "nudification" in connection to these.
There's nothing in particular about smartglasses that would enable such a use and they're considerably worse than a regular phone for that in every regard except for the covert picture taking. They completely lack the displays and processing power needed for it unlike, say, a phone.

"Except for the one thing everyone is concerned about, they're harmless."
What a load of bollocks. Grok is doing this on X today, why do you think these glasses couldn't be doing that with some programming?
Its ok to punch someone wearing these. Its your duty to stop being friends with anyone who bought them.
