I get this feeling that you will be downvoted to oblivion on HN if you talk against anything that harms men. Even when it involves technology and is therefore relevant here. Many seem to think that gender equality, justice, sexual violence, etc applies only to one gender. I really would like to know how we reached this situation and their justifications for it.

I think there is a stupid propensity to overcorrect in the mainstream media about polarizing issues for profit which has been normalized by repeated messaging and has spread into our normal lives like a disease.

Violence again women is very real and men have been the main inflictors of it. However violence against men isn't physical because just biology. So it takes more insidious forms which combined with expectations of masculinity makes it so much more worse.

If we chose to selectively condemn the former kind of visible violence without protesting the more hidden kind, it is equally toxic as condoning violence against women.

Proudly lauding an app that enables scaling up of this kind of toxicity without any recourse by giving women carte blanche is another form of extremism.
