So, on its face, Bumble's model makes a lot of sense. I met my two longest-term girlfriends on OKCupid and I pretty much stopped making first contact with women entirely. It's no secret or surprise that women get bombarded with a lot more messages from random dudes than guys get from random women. So, by having a model of "Women make the first move" seems to make sense. At least, it would have about eight years ago.
The problem is that, just like everything else in the woke world, they use a lot of words while denying that they have any meaning.
Women make the first move; but, they never define the word "woman." Actually, you have to dig for the meaning.
It's not a definition based off of biological sex. You don't need two X chromosomes to get the woman's treatment. People with Y chromosomes can get the woman's treatment by identifying as a woman. So, it seems like it's supposed to be about gender identity.
Only, it's not about gender identity. Plenty of profiles listed under women, really almost half that I've seen, have either she/them or they/them pronouns listed. So, a person can be biologically male, identify as gender nonconforming, and be treated as a woman.
I tried to Google their actual policy on trans men and came up empty.
So, here's why I think this is an important point to make about where were blindly headed. Bumble is putting into action everything that woke people are pushing about gender ideology. The necessary conclusion is that "woman" can only be defined as "anybody who either wasn't born a male or doesn't identify as one." Notice I said "or" and not "and."
So, that's the conclusion of woke, gender ideology. Men get a definition, "A biological, adult male who identifies as a man." If you don't fit that description, you're not a man. Women don't get a definition. Women are just people who don't identify as a men. That's not a definition, that's an antonym. They're defining the word "man" and saying that "woman" is everything that is not that - anything that is other than that.
That seems misogynistic to me.
