This service is not reflecting misogny. It's reflecting _both genders'_ values, expectations and prejudices. It is not an example of men's oppression of women, it's an example of screwed up gender roles. So in a sense it's even worse.
Okay, so this is somehow "objectifying" women. I might buy that argument. But what does it say about a society where men who are obviously more successful with women do better, both with other women and with their peers?
I think that discrediting this as misogny is missing half of the story. Society, both men and women, are 100% complicit in the mechanisms that make this service a good idea. Pinning it on only the men is dishonest.
