And to be given grace in the moment infuriated him, because apparently a woman not being mad at him was emasculating?

The creation of CSAM on X is unrelated to whether children use the site or not. So what Badenoch appears to be arguing is that only adults should be allowed to look at CSAM. She’s also implying that that it’s rather judgy and illiberal of the govt to “not like” a CSAM generator

One agent literally moves to stand in front of the vehicle (she has no other way to move) and two
more agents, including the one who shot her, approach the vehicle. Those are not the actions of people who have a reasonable belief that they are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Renee Nicole Good is the one whose reputation should be protected, whose death should be marked by flags across the country being lowered to half-staff, who should be getting tearful tributes and acknowledgments from politicians and media figures. These are the people we ought to honor.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

I am happy to! I like answering this question. I think the simplest way to sum it up is that it's like, someone explained to you how the magician did that card trick. or Dorothy realizing Oz the Great and Powerful is literally just some guy. you can read the docs so you can see how the scam was done

We will not end tech abuse until we end tech impunity. "At the end of the day, all law, in order to be effective, has actually got to mean something to the person who is potentially going to violate it, right? They have to be scared that they’re going to be punished in some way.”
A growing number of women and girls have been digitally “undressed” by X’s Grok as users prompt the chatbot to show subjects in lingerie, covered in liquid, with black eyes or fearful expressions.
X users tell Grok to undress women and girls in photos. It’s saying yes.
The site is filling with AI-generated nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children. Owner Elon Musk responded with a laughing emoji.

I understand why people would make this choice for themselves, but "women shouldn't put any pictures of themselves online" sounds too close to "women shouldn't go out at night", "women shouldn't wear short skirts", and "women shouldn't exist in public" for me

If there is an argument then this is the argument. But lol I can’t find where this obviously false stat is coming from. And if the government does believe more than half the families in the UK are using it as their primary news source then woah maybe time to up the scrutiny of it!
