But also utterly predictable. They thought of women as a product to sell to men rather than an equal share of that user base. That was part of the design. Men were customers. Women were product, one they expected would be both free and a renewable resource they did not have to respect or treat with any kind of 'sustainability' mindset (to borrow from environmentalism) because women ‘have’ to have a man and we’re all so desperate for male validation and to be picked. That old chestnut. Dutch Elm disease really let us down not only infecting Flora chestnuts. Shame and a pity there.

The misogyny in the business design is baked in and has been from the very beginning.

When their grand scheme started to fail, instead of addressing those core issues that would have involved admitting they were wrong, bro logic isn’t that logical, and treating women like actual people, they went with what I’ll term the “orchid route" by building fem presenting digital bots and fake female profiles to continue to lure poor hapless bees, I mean men, into wasting their energy, I mean time and money, on a flower, I mean business, that is using a kind of nefarious and almost parasitic form of mimicry, I mean fraud, to trick that poor love struck bee, I mean lust crazed, clanky balled man into emptying out his wallet on something that ain’t never going to happen. A bee can’t fuck an orchid and a fake profile or AI chatbot will never be your girlfriend.
