This has happened to me twice. Once, it was in Thailand, the dude's camera was disposable, and my hard-partying girlfriend with anger issues grabbed the camera from said dude, threw it on the ground, stomped on it and got all up in his grill. It was pretty awesome.

There was a guy around my university campus that went around taking pictures of women with low-cut jeans and exposed thong underwear and posting them on a website. The Women's Centre got quite up in arms about, but Campus Security did nothing. Not quite as bad as upskirting, but still gross, immature and degrading.

This makes me so angry. It also makes me want to call my mom and thank her for passing on her thigh genes. There's no possible angle from which anyone could aim up my skirt and see anything but leg.

A newspaper photographer in Sacramento had a favorite past time of going to high school sports games and videotaping the spots underneath cheerleaders' skirts. His ass got arrested and fired.

This reminds me of those hideous YouTube videos that were on a while back of guys who would have their buddies video tape them (usually hidden behind hoodies and glasses) running up to or behind a woman and either lifting up her skirt or pulling down her strapless top.

The level of disgust I have for these types of "people" knows no bounds.

There's a reason these assholes only prey on the young and vulnerable - older women would fucking crucify them and make damn sure everyone in earshot would not only know why, but would be invited to join in.

A passage in Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions is proof that this has been going on waaaaay to long.

@2pint: A passage AND an illustration. But I think it was a reference to taking a peek, not taking a pic. I see a big diff.

I wonder how many of these perverts go on to commit actual physical and sexual assaults of women. When they get away with upskirt shots, wouldn't that make them even bolder and more aggressive?

I try really really hard not to hate men, but then something like this flies across my radar, and...

Take a pic up my skirt and I'll be cooking your testacles Carpentier-style.

I sort of get why Megan used the pic she did to illustrate this post, but at the same time, is it a little unfair to associate those guys with such a pervy activity? Am I being overly sensitive about this?

The sense of entitlement that these men feel to women's bodies is overwhelming and disgusting.

Aaaaand that is a sentance I think multiple times a day, every day.

This happened to me once while I was waiting for the A train. I was wearing a short skirt and some fucking perv pretended to drop something by my foot and used that opportunity to take a picture.I had my back to him and my earphones in, so I didn't know until some woman started yelling, "He's taking your picture! Miss, that guy just took you picture!" and with that he ran out the subway and I don't think I ever felt so gross or violated.

So an upskirt photo of me could be floating on the internet and I will never know.

@Jessi Ramsey: Which leads me to think: what is so gdamn sexy about what will possibly just be a blurred beigey brownish picture? AND MAYBE a hint of blue from my underwear? Isn't porn easy enough to find on the internet these days!?

@tonightineed thinks rahm is nom: Eaxactly. When it happens your body freezes and you go in shock and feel confused. Anger settles in when you comprehend what happened. Maybe I'm not as tough as some of the other ladies here because I would love to say that I fought back but when you're in the situation, it's not that easy.

Even if they couldn't get him on the upskirting charges, what about child porn in the case of the 16 year old?

I've had a skeevy dude take pictures of my feet, and that led to some screaming and chasing. I can't imagine what I'd do if someone tried to do this to me.

@PinkSoxHat: A friend of mine woke up in the middle of the night on an overnight bus ride from Istanbul to Athens to a man stroking and kissing her bare feet. She kicked him in the face.

(The feet photo just reminded me of that instance.)

Assault. How in the world can it be anything but? I have grabbed the wrist of a guy about to take a shot at a bar.

With both hands I twisted until he dropped his phone and then I picked it up threw it against a wall and the scuffle brought security over. I have never been so enraged in my life, or violent for that matter. He got kicked out came back looking for his phone and got kicked out again.
