We're getting a few disapproving tweets. I'd like to ask for some direct feedback.

The tweets are mainly that we're objectifying women. Eg. "this is beyond commodity and into unitless essence. ratio is how we speak of % nitrogen in the air", "Treating potential partners as a commodity demeans them and encourages objectification."

Our intention here isn't to objectify women (or men). We've just noticed pretty skewed ratios here in SF, and were curious about starting to report them. We even started offering some insight/analysis based on SF Census numbers.

We asked a few of our friends. Many of them, both m and f, gave us really positive feedback.

We're not trying to treat people like numbers. But, if you're trying to meet someone, it might be relevant. Of course, meeting people in real life and connecting with them on a deeper level is still completely a human endeavor.

What do you think?
