Hard to disagree. We need to drill into kids heads that real girls will never ever not in a million years ask a dude they've never met for a nude picture. The girls need to be taught to never ever send a nude either, because only scammers do that.

Yeah, boyfriends and girlfriends will still sext each other. That will never change. But randos? Nah, no random on Instagram is going to send you a nude two hours after you start talking.
