Not to ruin all the "Zoom dick" jokes, but it& #39;s worth pointing out that sending unwanted dick pics is an extremely common form of sexual harassment, and claiming it was an "accident" is a favorite excuse.

In my experience, this is rarely accidental. https://www.thecut.com/2020/10/media-reacts-to-jeffrey-toobin-zoom-dick-incident.html">https://www.thecut.com/2020/10/m...

There& #39;s nothing wrong with making jokes about this and in fact that can be a healthy coping mechanism, but we should not lose sight of the fact that this is a form of sexual harassment, and can be painful for survivors who have been repeatedly subjected to it.

"Jeffrey Toobin is a luddite who doesn& #39;t understand how the mute function on Zoom works" is one explanation. "Jeffrey Toobin is a creep and a predator who was intentionally sexually harassing his colleagues" is another.

That shouldn& #39;t be brushed off.

I& #39;m speaking as someone who has both been harassed in this way, including on this platform. I get dick pics in my DMs. I also get rape and death threats sometimes. They are different degrees of severity on the same spectrum of abuse pathology.
