Calgary woman horrified to find her pics on a 'hot or not' page


There are similarities between Carter's situation and how Facebook got its start, a University of Calgary media studies professor says. A Calgary woman is outraged after finding photos of herself on a man's social media account, asking people to rate her appearance. Tamara Shepherd, a University of Calgary media studies professor, says on the surface Kevann Carter's situation may seem innocent but there are other issues involved. There's a kind of masculinist culture that underpins the whole idea of social media," Tamara Shepherd said. 'What makes me angry is that I'm being sexualized and I'm being discussed like I'm not a human being,' Carter explained.
