Sixty men from Novarese are found on social media platforms, advertising wives for sale
In a move to maintain a safe and respectful online community, Meta has closed down the Facebook group "My Wife" following reports and complaints of inappropriate content and behaviour. The group, which had amassed over 32,000 members, primarily men, was a hub for sharing photos of women as if they were goods for sale, catering to the sexual appetites of users.
The closure of the group led to its reorganization into several new groups, such as "My wife's friends", "My exhibitionist wife", "My wife does... to rats", and "Meet my wife". However, these new groups continue to raise concerns about the objectification of women on social media.
Monia D'Addio, a Novara-based psychologist and trans-feminist activist, has emphasized the need for education to understand concepts like violence, domination, justice, and abuse. She believes that addressing these issues in adults and changing the educational system is crucial to combat such behaviour. Elia Impaloni, president of the association Liberazione e Speranza, shares similar concerns about the objectification of humans in the social world.
Comments on the group's posts were not spared from lewd suggestions, with users making inappropriate comments such as "To impregnate," "Will you share it?," and "There's the whore in Arona." Some users even offered to meet in specific locations, such as Verbania and Lake Maggiore.
Over 60 Novara residents interacted with the group, commenting, liking, and reading comments under stolen photos of women of various ages and regions in Italy. One user from Novara was looking for a "lonely wife," while another suggested that all profiles might be fake.
The group "Meine Frau" and similar organizations have been actively combating the objectification of women on social media. They launch awareness campaigns, such as social media campaigns against age discrimination and stereotypes, and promote respectful representation of women. For example, Palais F*luxx launched a campaign against age discrimination of women in the workforce on March 4, involving women aged 48 and older, aiming to counter negative stereotypes and objectification.
While specific detailed actions by "Meine Frau" beyond the context of combating objectification and harmful stereotypes are not explicitly documented, these groups often use social media platforms to highlight issues, create dialogue, and encourage more nuanced portrayals of women to combat objectification and harmful stereotypes. Additionally, they address broader issues of sexualization and digital privacy.
One such account, "Gioemoglie" from Arona, shared a manipulated photo of its wife in a swimsuit, soliciting comments and offers. Some users expressed disappointment that they lived too far away from the women whose photos they were viewing.
The closure of the "My Wife" group serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a respectful and safe online community. Meta continues to enforce its community standards and encourages users to report any inappropriate content or behaviour.
