I don’t know how to say this in a way that doesn’t sound like I’m advocating for casual cruelty or whatever but something that grates so much about this current social moment is how many people are incapable of saying they dislike something or someone without cooking up some higher morally correct reason for their dislike. Sometimes you just disliked a book. Sometimes you don’t “get” an actor or a musician. There’s nothing morally wrong with your girl’s fuckass boyfriend he’s literally just annoying and you’re annoyed that you have to pretend you like him when you know he’ll be history in six months. It’s fine. You don’t need to justify your dislike.

A screenshot of a reddit post with the title:

My ovulation tracker suddenly asked what state I live in

And flared: "burn the patriarchy" in all caps.

The body of the post reads:

It said telling them was required to continue using the app

The fuck it is.

I deleted it immediately. Like I'm gonna risk police showing up to my door if I miss a month due to non-pregnancy reasons.

Update: I just went to the tracker's spot in the App Store to leave a review warning other potential users. According to the last few reviews that were written, I am not the first user since the last update who noticed and immediately deleted. [the word "not" is in caps]

I have no problem naming and shaming the app, but I'm unsure if it's allowed. If a moderator could let me know if I'm allowed to name the app or not, I'd really appreciate it!

Edit #2: I've gotten permission to name the app as long as we don't go brigading. The app is called Ovia. Avoid it like plague! [The word Ovia is bolded]

Do not use any app to track your cycle! This could happen with any of them at any time!

As an alternative, try Bearable. It's based in the UK and the privacy policy has been updated to explicitly confirm that "as a UK company, we’re not required to have to comply with US criminal subpoenas requesting disclosure of data."

(bearable.app is the site, app is available at the usual places.)
