Obviously it's not black and white, but my point was to disabuse jshakes of his (frankly elitist) notion that only superficial and uninterestng people would be exposed to this app's ratings.

Well-educated people - both women and men, actually - are in fact more likely to be feminists (due to the cultural milieu at most universities, if nothing else), and feminists are in fact not unlikely to approve of things like Lulu as well-deserved reversals of privilege. I'm not saying all of them would (in fact, I am a feminist myself, and I do not), but it's not rare, either, and I've seen that kind of reaction from people I would not consider superficial or uninteresting.

That's not an attack on anything, it's just me sharing my personal experience. And who are you to say that my experience is invalid, or silly? I think that's far more offensive than anything I've said.
