For better and for worse; the coverage of apps targeting women usually portrays women as hapless damsels in distress to whose rescue we must come through outrage and this and that.
The increased outrage is not necessarily something that automatically favours the sex it purports to defend.
One could argue that people care more about women than men, but one could also argue that women need to be defended more than men, which flips the discussion of sexism or gender-favouritism on its head.
But generally, I definitely find there to be a gendered response, depending on the target demographic.
