Atack has dealt with unwanted attention from male fans since her teens, and poses pertinent questions about online sexual harassment
One promptly blocked her and the other escalated his abuse to the point that she contacted the police.
While Atack had no reason to feel humiliated, she didn’t have to look far for reactions that suggested she did. As she read out a selection of typical messages she has received to comedian Seann Walsh, his reaction to an explicit photo – “I don’t want to see it! He’s sent it to you, not me!” – demonstrated the grim gulf between how seriously people take online harassment and the impact it has on victims’ lives.
A third of UK women have experienced online abuse or harassment. And while that statistic is staggering, it is individual stories like Atack’s that allow us to see grand narratives on a human scale. Asking For It balanced the two masterfully.
