I agree with this, but your initial comment is creating gendered maladies that don't exist. How is an IP lawsuit a gendered issue?

Basing it off not just the IP allegations but the history of these two companies, linked from the article, but also (mostly) from my own experience and that of pretty much everyone I've talked to about dating apps.

I don't know too much about the case. It could be, as others here suspect, that this is just a savvy PR move and there's a valid IP claim. I kind of doubt it, but either way I think the article touches on larger points about gender politics (esp. that of dating apps) that are worth talking about regardless of the merits or outcome of this case.

Even if the IP allegation is illegitimate, how is such a lawsuit an instance of masculine posturing?
