Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Wait, drinking tea is now …
Wut.
Tea is an app that women use to look up men they are considering going on a date with, allowing them to find out if he is a registered sex offender or has a record as a domestic abuser, but also allows women to rate men they have dated as safe or dangerous and leave comments (making it like Rate My Professor or Yelp, but for dating men).
Someone on 4chan found out that the app's database was completely open to the public, and because the app requires women to upload legal ID to prove they are women before they can use the app, all the app's users' IDs were leaked and the users then doxxed.
It's been in the news:

and many Lemmy users have been delighting in the "irony" that the women who use the app are now getting doxxed. I think the common view is that the women are gossiping and violating men's privacy, so they deserve to be doxxed on 4chan.
Well, they certainly proved why the app needs to exist.
that's a good point, never considered that - was mostly just horrified that so many men who claim to be leftists and progressives are so misogynistic, siding with 4chan trolls targeting women ...
I genuinely do not trust "feminist" men. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many experiences to the contrary. Whether it was men taking over women's groups (not even maliciously, just men being men and assuming their voice is so important they have to be heard … ringing any bells in the mod team here?), or making it clear that they're really just there as a breeding strategy ("sensitive guys" get laid in feminist circles), etc.
Are there genuine feminist men? Yes. Are there even some who respect women enough to let women speak? Sure! But there's enough of those who aren't that I have to keep alert. Which makes "women's spaces" that have men in them not that different from a plain old office spaces in terms of keeping a guard up.
Joss Whedon was considered a "feminist", just to be clear how bad it gets.
Oh.
This is why I'll never use any app that requires my real life information.
absolutely 😄
