ThinkUKnow: New Government Initiative to Blame Victims Everywhere

I first discovered this video campaign, created by the government sponsored "internet safety program" ThinkUKnow, via Sexting and Slut-Shaming on Hoyden About Town. The more I thought about it, the more incensed I became (which is fairly unusual for me, as the incandescent rage that usually powers my ranting tends to saturate quite quickly).

Recently I have had cause to reflect upon sexual harassment and the effects that it can have on a person. As I mention in the email below, while I don't see it every day, it's damn near impossible to work in a technical field without encountering it at some point.

Quit Ransoming Yourself

Why complaints about independent politicians holding our country to ransom make no sense whatsoever.
