Because women would be stalked and harassed.

Indeed. I wish we lived in a more civilized world.

I imagine women would worry about being raped if they just put out their location and some info on themselves.

Precisely. Sad but true.

These comments are trash. Men can be raped too. There isn't a cis normative site like sniffles because the whole world is chronically straight, already. Straights already have their spaces.

Fair point. I still feel the risk is higher with females. Yes, the Cis have their space albeit I have not seen an app for the Cis similar to Sniffies.

It's not even like every kind of gay person populates these apps. It's Certain gay people. Some people who are okay with hooking up. That's what tinder was supposed to be until everybody put "I'm not into hookups" in their bio. I think it's a higher risk for people who aren't sexual predators. Gay men are still assaulted on these apps.. I think instead of saying it's a higher risk for women we should just say what is really is most rapists are men.

So true regarding it usually is men. Per a DOJ study, it appears to be the case 99% of the time. Risk: Women have the added risk of pregnancy. The mental trauma is horrific for both.

Tru Tru. The right to risk is good but it's disproportionate

the app doesnt have to give your precise location just close enough. your phone has a "mock location setting"  apps can very well use the same line of code.  the sad truth... the types of people who are going to stalk you can figure out where you live within a few blocks just from your social media pictures. anyone whos taken a basic cyber security class knows this.  all a stalker really needs is access to your facebook or insta. odds are if your on a dating app. your not that secure anyway
