All glasses are pervert glasses if they're tinted and reflective enough.
Just imagine face tracking with a Camera on every face. Such a great Tech Bro idea.
Fuck those glasses. But also, my brain can't let go of the question of "How would I feel if I saw a woman wearing these?". And honestly I'm not sure??? Like you could make an argument that at least they would deter creepy men?? Anyone got any thoughts on that?
Are we really at our last straw? I mean c'mon, there must be other ways to make women feel safe other than equipping them with a surveillance product from a toxic tech bro.

It's probably because the fucking glasses were used by the worst people at first. They were used by dudebros and weirdos who wish to do harm towards others. That's why people called them Perv glasses. Which isn't surprisng given Zuckerberg's whole M.O.
Good.
"A lot of men and their behaviors have ruined this product."
That's men acting as they intended using a product as intended. There is no plot twist here.

that's how a societly is supposed to work.
I have a bad feeling that apple is going to release a pair of smart glasses and all of the social momentum of discouraging wearing these things will be lost overnight.

How tone deaf do you have to be to even buy them?
Pretty sure the only people buying these are literally tech reviewers and actual perverts.
