If she decided to spend 24 hours proving how much cutting she could tolerate, you'd see it for the self harming behavior that it is. Because there's a sexual element men seem to want to pretend like she isn't simply creating a spectacle of self harm. But in the end that's all it is. And I'm sad for the men who are okay taking part in someone else's pain simply because it benefits them. Like Movo said, men could have opted out. They could have had some self respect. They could have looked past the sexual element and seen the pain that would cause a woman to behave in this way. Alas, they did not. I'm not blaming anyone here, I'm simply pointing out that if we were willing to put ourselves in the shoes of another, none of those men would have signed up.
