Leora Tanenbaum, author of Sexy Selfie Nation, on how slut-shaming has evolved—and worsened—in the digital age. She unpacks how what was once a whispered insult has become a widespread, inescapable form of abuse—amplified by smartphones, social media, and AI-powered deepfakes. She talks about how “self-sexualizing” can feel like control—but isn’t, the three systemic forces fueling non-consensual sexualization, and how parents can approach these tough conversations with empathy—not shame.
