Wow, if this is true, what a horrible person. All the efforts to get more women interested in tech, trampled. Hopefully, people will learn from this how to not do it and that still in 2014 misogynism is completely present and will get swept under the carpet.
- purringmeow 12y agoThe article stated the lawsuit has been started and I didn't see any verdict. So let's not be quick to judge, we've heard only 1 side of the story.
- MangezBien 12y agoIs there another side that would make any of these actions acceptable? I can't think of any.
- WalterSear 12y agoGuilty! Guilty! Burn them! Burn them!
- ossreality 12y agoThat'd be your straw man burning, actually.
- xienze 12y agoYou're making the assumption that the allegations are 100% truthful in the first place.
- MangezBien 12y agoI should have been more specific. I was referring to the text messages. In what light is anything he texted her acceptable? Are you implying that they may be fabricated?
- xienze 12y agoThe texts aren't official records from the phone company, they're just screenshots of iMessage. Can't fake those! I'm just a little skeptical because if you read the complaint, it's mostly about her trying to assert her co-founder status with sexual harassment as a bludgeon.
- DanBC 12y agoShe claims she was given co-founder status, and that the reason it was removed was sexist. That's an important claim about the company as a whole, and not just about one person at that company.
- vor_ 12y agoTinder has confirmed the messages. Here they are: http://www.buzzfeed.com/sapna/tinder-sued-for-sexual-harassment http://www.buzzfeed.com/sapna/tinder-sued-for-sexual-harassm...
- purringmeow 12y agoThat's pathetic. This guy seems to have the emotional development of a 5 year old.
- renaudg 12y agoYeah, let's get rid of judges and always apply the maximum sentence if found guilty, regardless of circumstances or what the other party did. Binary justice sounds like an especially wonderful idea when the matter is human relationships.
- j4kp07 12y agoReally? One bad breakup between two C-types and "ALL" of the efforts to bring MORE women into tech is trampled? IMHO...this has nothing to do with Tinder or the parent company. Because, guess what happens when you decide to enter the dating world? You may get burned, called bad names or become generally upset. So don't shit where you eat and then blame the cafeteria for the bad taste left in your mouth.
- Loughla 12y agoNo, but that's why many cafeterias have a 'no shitting where you eat' policy that results in immediate termination.
- instaheat 12y agoThank you. I agree. I don't know why I got downvoted so much for my comment.
- wellboy 12y agoOne bad breakup between two C-types and "ALL" of the efforts to bring MORE women into tech is trampled? Well, yeah. Only half of the efforts trampeled?
- zacharycohn 12y agoThis has everything to do with Tinder when the CEO is aware of harassment and abuse, yet does nothing.
- easytiger 12y agoIMHO this has nothing to do with tech either. Could easily replace tinder with a used car sales company and no one would be suprised.
