Okay. Let's try this. It ought to really give you something to misinterpret. It is entirely wrong to force women to wear a pup tent in Saudi Arabia. There isn't anything right about it. They shouldn't do it. Ever. Not at all. Not even a little bit. The men who do it are assholes. Every time. No exceptions. Ever.
Now, having established the obvious fact that making women wear a pup tent only an idiot would walk down the street in Riyadh wearing a bikini and not expect negative consequences. Those consequences would be a moral outrage, but the fact that they are wrong won't keep them from happening. Please note that this is an extreme example to make a point, and I am in no way advocating the compulsory wearing of pup tents by women anywhere in the galaxy.
Now, Ms. Lynch posted an image of herself on the internet, the most efficient distributor of information in the history of the human race, that annoyed a bunch of people. In response they said mean things to her. In a stroke of what has to be one of the most obvious cases of narcissistic stupidity since the last idiot did it, she also posted personal information as well. So not only did she annoy the hell out of a bunch of people, she gave them a way to find her and her family in real life. The technical term for that is Compound Fuck Up. Fortunately, even in light of such foolishness the chances that anything more will come of her mistake are fairly remote simply because most of the assholes that said mean things to her said them from their mother's basement and they're nothing but spineless no life trolls.
