This is the most disgusting, gratuitous display of misogyny I have ever seen.

Let me just say, David, that you're a cretin. You're why my female friends don't want shit to do with geek culture. You're poison in the well.

I think if you have something that is "Show HN" there should be more to see than just a landing page. I'd like to see how you built it, what it looks like, something more than just "enter your email address and we'll notify you when it's available."

we have to wait for the app to be published :/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think that the US is just really afraid to talk openly about our relationships with other people.

I agree with you completely. The problem is that I don't think the behavior you're encouraging solves that. Talking about hookups is almost always about objectification: it's encouraging people to talk openly about relationships, yes, but relationships between people and objects of sexual gratification rather than between actual mature adults.

I always find it fascinating how the prevailing christian attitudes about sex have spread so well to the entire population, even as that same population is less and less christian.

In this case, you are implying that mature adults sex lives should not include one night stands with people they have no emotional attachment to. Why?

This is extremely disrespectful to women. They aren't objects.

Actually this is a natural consequence of a society strangled by church views on morality.

When can we give up the idea that sex, for no other reason than gratification, lust and desire is in any way bad?

When can we get over the idea that women don't want sex? That they shouldn't be allowed to want sex? That they should feel sorry for wanting to have sex?

If you accept that women should have the same rights as men, it should follow that they should be the one to choose when, how, where and whom to sleep with -- and how often.

But of course, if you don't, if you believe that women are somehow inferior to men in matters of judgement, then your comment makes perfect sense.

That is not an argument I can support, though.

Do NOT make this community about persecution -- I see no reason to list his Facebook profile in this thread other than to harass -- even if he has it listed in his profile.
