As a man who's always considered himself a strong feminist, I think that tea's issue are way more profound that just some data breach. Women were convinced to trust the app as a safe space, but it never was for various reasons. First, as proven by the breach, privacy was not guaranteed. Second, I do not see how a women-only app made to complain on men can help any men get better in their behavior, instead of balcaniz…
