No sympathy from me whatsoever. The app was designed to allow these women to anonymously post personal information about other people. Fuck 'em. Turnabout is fair play. As my kindergarten teacher used to say, "you get what you get and you don't pitch a fit".
If by "personal information" you mean sharing their experiences with certain people ... Yeah I guess.
They weren't sharing addresses and social security numbers or drivers license numbers or other things that would lead to identity theft.
How can you not have sympathy for these women getting doxxed because they wanted to help create a safer space for one another and to help each other out? That's wild.
This is far from turnabout, this is abuse.
No, we mean "sharing what they claim is their experience and details of such"
Maybe they weren't sharing addresses and SSN's (though what's stopping them from doing so), but like anything online it's certainly not hard to make up, spin, or highly exaggerate a story to the detriment of the subject, but without them knowing about it.
So yeah, even if Sally Smith claims that "**Billy Jones of 125 South Street is a big loser who has undisclosed herpes, which who knows how he got it with that small dick of his", maybe the truth is that Billy refused to pay for an expensive meal on a first date it some other thing entirely.
This isn't turnabout (as the leak wasn't intentional), and not abuse either, but it may be a bit karmic.
** Names and story entirely made up for example purposes
So it's fair because you completely made up a story about what happened in the app?
How dare they warn other women about rapists.
Plus the whole moral aspect of such an app. While I agree that women have been mostly objectified their whole existence, this doesn’t help anyone.
We need to get rid of both superficial way of looking at each other ( women: seeking mostly young, beautiful, rich yes men, men: seeking perfect body, face, housewife stereotypes). Both mindsets are equally trash.
