Someone stole naked pictures of me. This is what I did about it (The Guardian)

Four years ago, intimate photographs of Danish journalist Emma Holten were posted on the web. Thousands viewed them and she still receives online harassment. The issues of revenge porn and hacked photos are part of a larger problem with our relationship to consent, she argues. So Holten decided to pose for and release a new set of pictures of her body. Here she explains why:

Clearly showing the misogynistic link "Rape isn't about sex" and "posting nudes with and without consent".
Whats a lady to do?...ahh, a swift kick to the balls should help.

Not on me, I never provoke her to that degree; never get more than rolling eyeballs. But when we're watching television and a woman is being endangered she's always exhorting her to "kick him in the balls." I don't disagree with her, necessarily, but it gets a little old after a while.
