A stranger sent me pictures of dicks via Bluetooth on the subway

Did you know that sexual offenders renew themselves a little more every moment. And now I’m at the forefront.

Because in addition to sending photos of dicks on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tinder, WhatsApp, via SMS and so on…

Now it’s over Bluetooth via AirDrop to any public space that you’ll be able to see a penis that appears on the screen without your consent.

Get a pic via AirDrop on public transport

If you don’t have an iPhone or MacBook, you might not know what AirDrop is.

It is a tool that allows all Apple devices to exchange files via Bluetooth.

Depending on your device settings, you may, if your Bluetooth is turned on, be visible to everyone around you.

Then all they have to do is press the name of your phone or computer to send you any file instantly.

A pop-up then appears on the screen with a nice preview of the file and the name of the sending device, and this morning it’s just a stranger’s dick that showed up on my screen.

Shit. Imposed on my screen. Right in the middle of the Paris Metro at 7am.

So I immediately clicked on “decline”, and without even having time to remove the Bluetooth, I received a second photo, then a third, then a fourth…

And a twentieth photo from the same sender.

Which forced me to see his cock from every angle when it should have been a few meters away from me.

Receiving dick picks against her will in a public space

I might have found it amusing and anecdotal. I may have found it ridiculous that a frustrated exhibitionist would be desperate enough to indulge in this kind of “pleasure” on the way to work.

Unlessit really is an attackand this not only put me in a black rage for absolutely the whole day, but it also happened in the greatest of silences.

Without anyone around noticing it, or that I can react directly with my abuser since I didn’t know who he was.

There I was, silent, hiding my screen for fear my neighbor would see the big disgusting cock, turning and looking at the people around me to try and catch this man in the act.

I was so mad that I wanted to get up and shout all over the car for this bastard who sends me his penis in pictures to come and see me face to face.

But I did nothing and, faced with the spam I was receiving, I finally locked my phone and waited to get out of the subway to pick it up, hoping the photos had disappeared.

Master the technology to avoid abuse

I could have been more vigilant and made sure my Bluetooth was turned off and AirDrop properly configured so I wasn’t visible to any strangers.

But the reality is that, like so many people, I didn’t even know it was activated, and above all I couldn’t imagine being able to suffer from it one day.

But this is the world we live in, a world where if women aren’t super careful and vigilant about their safety, in a fraction of a second they can be attacked.

It fell on me, an adult and informed, but it could have fallen on a teenager or even a child.

It’s clear that from now on I won’t be filmed with Bluetooth turned on in public spaces, but I felt it was important to expose it to daylight.

So that each of you is careful, and above all that people who are not exposed to this type of violence realize that it happens and exists.

Attacks happen before our eyes. Daily. All time. Often without even noticing anything.

And it must stop.
