Because we are cheap and disposable and way more generic than even those who are aware of it can conceive.

Careful. It's only one small inference to women being valuable, and a socio-biological explanation of why so many groups tended to protect women and the consequence for the power balance.

Just for the trigger happy: I'm not saying we should lock our women behind the kitchen counter in a modern society, but that roles are much, much older than that, and may have an evolutionary reason.

Men are applying and women are hiring. Half the candidates are lying on their resumes. Many candidates are spamming their resumes indiscriminately. If you've ever had to hire someone for a position that attracts hundreds of candidates (i.e. software engineer with decent pay), you'll encounter the same dynamic. I hate being in that role. I have to reject 199 people and accept 1. Often, there are dozens of qualified candidates. You interview half a dozen, and then you tell 5 out of 6 perfectly qualified people you interviewed they didn't get the job. You feel like a horrible person the whole time. I've discussed this with my wife (we met on Bumble) and she confirmed the scenarios are very similar.

It's often better to be in the hiring position than in the applying position. But it's awful for everyone involved.

The way to avoid this mess when applying for jobs is to build up a network and lean on it for new positions. I wonder if dating may have a similar alternative approach.

Agreed. But isnt feminism about equality? Look, the inequality on Dating Apps is natural - it is a result of biologic difference between genders and their behavior. Certainly nothing wrong with that - you dont correct these.

The others - like salaries, (which are of course also subjects to these differences) they want to correct them. Why? Because it benefits them - to have their cake and to eat it.
