I came across a post that talked about this app. It's an app designed in the name of "female empowerment" by letting women endorse other guys they deem to be good to their other single friends.

And the guys on the app? They're immediately told to be on their "best behaviour" and if they do so, they'll earn rewards and points. This bit I find very condescending and not to mention misandric as it doesn't mention any toxic behaviour that women do. It also gives off the vibes of the "Toronto Unhinged list" or "Are we dating the same guy." list as well.

Dating is already hard enough for men out there, and this app will only make it needlessly harder. I wouldn't be surprised if this app attracts only the feminist types as they're the ones screeching about safety (Note: due to the expectation of men to initiate most things in dating and sometimes resorting to toxic methods to do so, I can understand women's need to be safe in these interactions especially if a man can't handle rejection, but I think the scale of safety is being inflated when you have apps or list like these.)

What are your thoughts on it? Do you think this app is a great idea to keep women safe or is it just another discriminatory practice against men and males?

No, "men" do not rape and murder women. It's a small minority of men who rape, and a similarly small minority of women who rape (but nobody is screeching about that). In fact, rape should not be viewed as a gendered crime.

Generalizing this to all men, or to men in general, is in fact misandry.

Please try and reexamine your attitude towards and beliefs about men. This comment gives a very negative impression and we absolutely pick up on that.
