When Jess was 15 pictures of her in her underwear, her hometown was widespread without her consent

TV presenter Jess Davies was only 15 years old when they shared pictures of her in her underwear in her city.

She had exchanged photos with a boy she introduced and he had forwarded her to others without her consent.

She was in art lessons when her phone with news of older boys started.

“Nice pictures,” read one. “I didn't think you were such a girl,” said another.

“It turned out that my pictures were around the entire sixth form in the center of Bluetooth, which was quickly shared in my school, then in my hometown and finally ended up in the city on the telephones of the men's football team,” said Jess.

Warning: contains sexually explicit language and topics

Jess says we are faced with a “pandemic of misogyny” that is not taken seriously

“It is a small city, so people knew who I was, and knew that I was a minor and still flashed my pictures on people who were in the 20s or 30s,” said Jess.

Finally, the news of the pictures reached her grandmother, who told her parents.

This should be the first of several incidents that Jess experienced in their teenagers and 20s and would later inform the campaigns of their women's rights.

Now she has written a book, nobody wants to see her d*ck: a manual for survival in the digital world, for which she had to explore everything from sexual harassment to cyber flash and cat fishing and told about men in well-known, easily accessible forums.

Others upload explicit photos of women they know and ask other men to write rape fantasies about them, said Jess.

“These are not crazy people in their mother's basement, who are chronically online, never leave their houses and have no social life.

“There is a generation that grows up online, and it is a generation that does not consider women as whole people with rights.

“It is a pandemic of misogyny that unfolds online and is not taken seriously.”

Jess says

Jess, who grew up in the coastal city of Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, said she has dealt with unwanted male attention since her child.

“I developed my body when I was very young and started wearing a bra when I was in the fourth year. When I was in the sixth year, I got comments from adult adult men about being jailbait,” she said.

“It is never really talked about how girls who develop early are simply treated so differently, suddenly it is as if they are now as” you are now ripe “.

When her photos were leaked at the age of 15, her parents supported, but Jess said she got her first taste of victims of others around her.

“The victim is as much shame. It is like: 'Why did you take it? Why did you shared it?' I said, “Why did someone shared this without my consent?

Three years later, Jess was a glamor model.

She said it was an attempt to “regain a little power”.

“You all saw my pictures, you all have this idea from me. So why don't you make some money with it and make a career?” She explained.

When she started modeling, she decided that she would only do lingerie and bathing clothing shots – but she said that this was also taken out of her control.

She said she had agreed to pose in a Mesh swimsuit about the agreement that would work out her nipples.

A few months later, a man sent her on social media to add them to the pictures. She searched for them online and found that the agreement had been broken and her nipples were issued.

“From then on it was really somehow spiral,” she said.

“They try to deal with a kind of strength and to hold on to a kind of limits, but other people continue to decrease them from them.”

Jess says

Jess said, before she was 20, she had “only accepted that it is as it is”.

But then she was disappointed by someone she had hoped that she could trust.

“I liked this guy very much,” she recalled.

“He had made a few comments to tell his friends that I was 'Jess from Nuts Magazine', and you think 'Okay, you see me through this lens', but you strip it because you like them.”

One morning after she stayed with him, she woke up with a strange feeling that something was wrong.

While he was in the shower, she decided to check his phone.

“It opened to a group chat and there was a picture of me that was completely naked in his bed and slept – he had sent it in the group chat,” she said.

“He had a single bed, so I thought: 'You have to have to get up to take it, it is such a conscious decision'.”

She quickly deleted the picture from his phone, knew that those who had received it might have already saved and forwarded it.

What do you say to someone who has done it to you?

“When he came back, I still didn't say anything because I was just ashamed and embarrassed that I didn't like the confrontation and didn't want to argue,” said Jess.

Adolescence and manosphere

During his studies in sociology at the university, Jess made her first introduction to feminism and really began to question her experiences.

“I had the feeling of anger, I just felt that it was not fair that women were treated in this way and women lost full control over their pictures online,” she said.

It was only when she started talking to other women and experts in the field when she made her documentary that she began the shame and guilt that she had been borning for years.

“It was really life -changing for me,” she said.

“[I realised] There was something for which we can fight and try to change things that I have been doing since then. “

Jess, 32, said one of the many reasons why she wrote her book is to call the victim procurement that she said was “widespread”.

“You shouldn't have going to this house party, you should not have sent this photo or should not wear this short skirt because you get attention,” she said that only the sexist attitudes were continued and the perpetrator's guilt was removed.

She said she was happy when Netflix's youth started a conversation about the so -called manosphere, but wants the conversation to continue.

“We are missing the girls of teenage who are actually affected,” she said.

“We expect you to be able to control this male claim at a very young age in which you are sent under pressure to send images to and explicitly transform deep fakes.

“We draw all our attention to giving these workshops teenagers and talking about radicalizing them, which is important, but nobody talks about what to do for teenage girls.”

Jess wants to see that more money is being built into the upbringing of young people through the navigation of digital spaces and argued that the occasional workshop was not sufficient to counteract the thousands of hours that were exposed to teenagers online.

Men also have to stop being defensive and calling bad behavior in other men, she said.

“I always come to mine [social media] Comments, not all men. Of course not all men – but they only complete the conversation, ”she said.

“Instead of being defensive, they listen to women … read books of women, hear podcasts that are presented by women, documentary films that are presented by women.”

She said the parents should also be more “switched on”.

“If the adolescence has shocked you, it is shocking for me, because that's the basic, basic stuff,” she said.

“This is the surface of what happens in these rooms.”
