She discusses the controversy surrounding Bumble's recent billboard ads and the backlash primarily from women. Elle then delves into the history of Bumble, founded by Whitney Wolfe Herd, and its evolution from being a female-friendly dating app to one which is criticized for shaming women. Elle also explores how dating apps are part of the sharing economy. She asserts that women, in this context, are treated as underused assets that are used for their time and attention. Drawing on Andrea Dworkin's book "Right Wing Women", Elle explores the idea that both left and right-wing men are guilty of “using” women, with left-wing men often being worse. She suggests that the so-called seggsual liberation movement did not lead to women's freedom, but rather to their further subjugation.
