Tubby, the male version of app Lulu, is forbbiden by a judge in Brazil because it`s offensive to all women (but, of course, Lulu is still allowed). Sorry, news is in Portuguese - use Google Translator

I am not well versed in Brazilian law, but I suspect the ruling on this case could be used as precedent for a case against LuLu.

Fucking Patriarchy.

This in not right at all. I hope Lulu gets banned in Brazil as well.

The hypocracy - it burns.

I couldn't find the tubby app on the App Store.

Cool, lets wait for the equivalent banning of Lulu. I'm sure that /r/feminism will be leading the fight for equality with this, as with everything else. /s

Can you use lulu for women too?

woolyreasoning · 2013-12-06T03:08:05+00:00

the key difference is that with lulu some guys are going to find life really difficult..

with tubby guys are just getting forewarn about which kind of crazy they're about to put it in ...

it won't even stop most of us for 30 seconds... because any man who knows women beyond his own mother and polite chit chat knows women are just as terrible, fucked up and damaged as any man

in reaction to this you either celebrate the differences between the sexes and ask to be treated fairly, irrespective of your gender or choose option a) suck up to, pander and infantilise the opposite sex option b) deminish, demonize and repress the sexuality of the opposite sex

Disgusting, and all-too-Brazilian. Nowhere to run, is there?
