Uh, why the fuck would such a device ever be allowed on school property?

[-] dreksob@feddit.online 1 points 6 days ago

Because boys are using them to harass girls, and thats like 90% of what schools are for nowadays

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 92 points 1 week ago

because educators aren't paid enough to figure out which covert spying devices exist

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 73 points 1 week ago

These devices are expensive.

Teenage girls - If you spot them... Grab them and smash them.

A reminder to everyone blaming parents: these children are growing up in a world where privacy doesn't exist, so how could they value it? Corporations are targeting them and influencing their opinions and changing norms with resources a parent couldn't even dream of. Blaming parents is an individualistic solution to a systemic problem. We're not going to suddenly get better parents anyway, sorry.

I mean, most of your early value comes from your parents (or closest adult influence), and presumably the parents needed to buy the very expensive device.

So yeah they can be blamed.

I've seen a lot of hand-wringing about boys being victims of the manosphere but I kinda think gen-x are maybe just some of the worst fucking parents

[-] brainzzz@piefed.world 1 points 6 days ago

You think boys and men treating girls and women as objects and toys is something new in this generation?

I definitely don't, but we hare having really different experiences if the world doesn't seem to have backslid around the gamer gate thing in general. I think if you look throughout history it's always been a two steps forward, one step back kind of progress for women, and right now we are definitely in the step back phase

Ok so it's way too simplistic to say parents today are the worst then.

[-] EmilieEasie@fedinsfw.app 1 points 4 days ago

I still think it's true, though

Whatever gets you through the night.
