Parents warn daughters about nude requests but rarely teach sons not to make them. Adolescent boys request explicit images more often than girls, often due to peer pressure. The speaker argues both genders need education about the responsibility involved.
Typically, more males request nudes than females. That's just a fact. So that's not sexist, that's a fact. It doesn't mean women aren't doing it, it just means we have it more often. How many parents have talked to their sons about, you don't request a nude, and here's why? It's almost unheard of. Nobody wants to believe their son would be the one, but they all think their daughter could be targeted. Well, how does that work numbers-wise? It's gotta be, that means there's a potential my son could have that urge or be convinced to do it by friends. Well, this is what you do, ask that person for one, right? And under peer pressure, they do it. We need to talk from all genders about the fact of, hey, you don't request, you don't send.
