Objectively, empirically, it's pretty obvious that you're wrong -- he had a reasonably expectation of privacy. As others have pointed out, her experience is not uncommon, and most men in his position do not get shamed as he did. I'm not talking about his or her rights, just about how people usually treat each other.

You can think she's a bad person, I guess,

I didn't say that, but I think she did something she shouldn't have done.

My question was whether *you* thought she should have done it. She reasonably might have wanted to take a baseball bat to his car the next day, but that doesn't mean that it would have been a good idea. And the idea that people surrender their privacy for the greater good of enlightenment in sexual politics strikes me as a terribly illiberal view, a sexual version of destroying a village to save it.
