Taking power

http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/it-was-awful-a-girls-own-misadventure-20101225-197ky.html

A summary of the story of the girl who is embarrassing the AFL by releasing photos of players naked. The girl has not been treated well by the players and is taking revenge.

If she was your friend or daughter or neighbour, what would you advise her? Would you say that this is how men treat women and you just have to cop it sweet? That she was out of her depth, and the situation isn't surprising? Would you say that nobody gives you power, you just have to take it, and do what you can to bring the issues to light? Or would you suggest she get legal advice and go on 60 minutes to tell her story? Is the problem particular to the culture of football players, or is it a broader problem?

What do you think?
