Based on the comments above, it seems many people think that everyone who goes viral gets a lot of creepy and unwanted attention, but when it happens to women it gets more sympathy than when it happens to men.

Thus giving special attention to women's plight is at odds with our norms of equality. I concur and feel like this is an example of female privilege, where women in general are given more sympathy than men for similar hardships.

I have exactly the same question. Curious why it was flagged...
