As in, women are put through the ringer when they voluntarily flaunt their bods and Bieber's free-balling ways are being applauded. And, on the flip side, why was Bieber fair game in this case at all?

Let's put it this way: We're dealing in apples and oranges. Or apples and bananas, if you will.

Publications that hold themselves to certain standards usually seek the advice of counsel in such matters, and whether or not Bieber intended for anyone other than his sunbathing companion—model Jayde Pierce—to see him naked at the time does not necessarily mean that he was in a place where he couldn't expect others to get a glimpse.

But then of course you always have to consider who and what exactly it is that you're dealing with. The Internet has proven that there's basically an interest in everything, no matter how vile, so just because the public might want to know or see, that doesn't mean you have to oblige.
