I mostly agree, but it's different for women due to how frequently they are subject to violence and how comparatively defenseless they are compared to the average man. Many women (and men) would gladly give up some privacy in exchange for (perceived) safety. And any man who doesn't understand that is either lying or has never known a woman.

It's fair that men and women have different challenges here. But humans are squishy and chaotic and self-interested, they're not angels of pure wisdom, fairness and justice. Giving someone a repercussion-free button to destroy someone else the instant they feel slighted, vindictive, threatened, jealous, disrespected, is a recipe for disaster. There's a reason these apps have not once worked sustainably, they always turn into a vile cesspool that brings the worst out of mobs.

I don't have a fix for this, it is entirely fair to want justice for the defenseless. At the same time I have a strong hunch that there is no problem-solution fit here, at least not with this sort of app.
