Tiziana Cantone, an Instagram Model in Italy, committed suicide after her s.x videos were leaked and went viral.
Was this about slut-shaming?
When a man sleeps with many women, he is rewarded & respected for conquering (a la Charlie Sheen) but when a woman sleeps with many men, she is condemned for being conquered – for being dirty and tainted.
Cantone recorded a series of s.x videos and sent them to her friends to allegedly mock her ex-boyfriend. The videos were leaked, and she was nationally ridiculed, condemned & judged.
The Cantone story reveals double standards & hypocrisy: If she lived in the US, she would have become famous & wealthy like Paris Hilton & Kim Kardashian, and; if she were male, she would never have been ridiculed, mocked, abused or cyber-bullied.
The Cantone story also teaches the lessons of:
Use Self-control – (beware of seeking revenge)
Engage Emotional Intelligence (wait before acting)
Beware of consequences for every action (your actions will have a result – not the one you intended)
Takeaway: Always ask yourself before sending out that email, text or voice message –
“If this goes public, will I stand behind it? What are the consequences of what I am about to say or do?”
