But the amount of faux outrage you're all whipping yourselves into a froth over is really over the top. So much hate and resentment. :(
Oh, and those of you claiming there would be some sort of anti-man frenzy if there was a site targeting similar gossip by men?
It's been done. No outrage. The most prominent example? Facebook.
Oddly, I don't mind this. I'd like a version for guys as well though, mostly to see the rage that would come up from the extreme feminists.

As I said to the previous poster, if you have a shred of evidence that "the feminists" consider this app to be acceptable (not just "less bad"), you should share it now. If you don't, then you might want to pause for a few minutes and seriously ask yourself why you said what you did. Because from my experience, opposing a service like this is a core value of feminism. (It may not be seen as a top priority, but that's…
I think you and duaneb have misunderstood my comment. I do not mean that they will say that it is acceptable to them because of the patriarchy, they will say that it is acceptable to society because of the patriarchy. In other words, they will blame the existence and acceptance of this app on the patriarchy and not the individuals who created it and accept it.

> trivial for any highly skilled security tester to interface this way with your database. It's not if you're not doing dumb stuff.
I suppose so, but this heavily relies on no one in your operation having made a mistake, or that mistake having been caught before it was pushed live. You have to be lucky every time, an attacker only needs to be lucky once .
The comments here are absolutely disgusting. Sure, this service is shallow, and absolutely disrespectful of privacy, etc...

I'm amazed at the kinds of apps which exist and get exposure. This is stuff which might have been fun in high school, but there are actual adults using this. Not to mention the insane double standard. I'd love to see a man make a similar app for rating women this way. I'm sure there would be news reports and tons of angry feminists flooding the airwaves.
When every other online interaction involves at least a few men commenting on your fuckability or how much of a 'bitch' you are, or going digging through all of your previous posts or even tracking down your Facebook account so that they can publicly share your body with all of the other men reading, and you have no recourse lest you be labelled an 'angry feminist', you will find that one single Web site where women treat men in a similar fashion does not inspire the same level of passion that it is doing here.
It is a terrible Web site, obviously, but i am envious of the social position that leads to such a complete lack of irony and self-reflection as seen in these comments.
How does this even work? I assume it's a database that you search by name and location but then there's going to be all kinds of collisions. Or does it pull data from social networks? I imagine the signal to noise ratio will just be horrible, bitter ex girlfriends will just spam guys with negative tags even if they aren't true and it's information will just lose all value.
It seems you must login with Facebook, which I assume allows for picking of very specific people. I would expect it to be a lot of negatives, because people usually don't (seem to) gossip as much about positives.
I think some women are going to love this.... until someone builds the site that sits on the other side of the coin.

Nope, a couple of unpopular blog posts is not something I wanted to see. I could have googled those myself. I was expecting a 'rage' unleashed - with just one question - 'How dare they do this!?' "How dare they do this to Gender 'x'" The same rage you saw previously when this happened to women.
(Oh crap, now I'm feeding the troll now, aren't I?)
