&#62; <i>What I am concerned about is the selective outrage being exhibited by the technology community. One such example is the Lulu app, which advertises itself as "the first ever app for private reviews of guys." I, personally, could not care less about what the app actually does. My outrage comes from the fact that no one seems to care that if this idea was implemented with the tables turned - men reviewing women - then it would almost certainly receive national media attention, being condemned by Women's Rights and Civil Rights groups.</i><p>"No one seems to care"...well, except for the various threads on this on HN and Reddit the past couple of weeks. Oh, was the OP looking for women to speak out? Well here's disapproving commentary by Gawker's feminism blog, Jezebel:<p><a href="http://jezebel.com/5982867/the-creepy-new-yelp-for-boys-and-other-apps-for-your-genitals" rel="nofollow">http://jezebel.com/5982867/the-creepy-new-yelp-for-boys-and-...</a><p>Which references the "XX Factor" feminist blog on Slate, which also was very negative about Lulu:<p><a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/02/07/lulu_app_for_rating_men_it_s_just_as_creepy_as_rating_women.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/02/07/lulu_app_for...</a><p>Those are two pretty prominent feminist online properties right there, both who probably empathized with Adria Richards and routinely mock the male culture at Reddit, and yet, here they are, attacking Lulu. Did the OP actually do any research or does "no one seem to care" just something he notices because he doesn't seem to care to look outside his bubble?

"I am outraged that there is nobody outraged about this." In other news, women have it SO much better than men. Amirite fellas? When will men finally be allowed to break through this injustice and be treated as well as women? Ugh.

Just as some carefully redefine racism so that only whites can be racist, I'm sure sexism has been carefully redefined so that only men can be sexist. I recall seeing an article linked to from HN that similarly redefined discrimination to exclude "affirmative action".
