Hey everyone! Today I wanted to take quick moment to bring awareness to the concept of Are We Dating the Same Guy groups.

So! If you aren't aware AWDTSG groups are (typically) Facebook groups where women can post the private information of men they've met on dating apps. The idea is that if a woman has a negative interaction, she can post that information to the group publically to prevent another woman from being victimized.

If the idea of a random woman posting your picture, message logs, and personal information to the web for anyone to see makes you uncomfortable. That's probably because it should!

It's incredibly common for these posts to be seen by family, friends, professional contacts, and future partners. One reddior today is posting how they've been targeted by an abusive ex, and suddenly they're getting reported, and banned from all apps.

The argument used for why these groups are necessarily is the protection of women, however if you check these groups, its primarily posts about men being narcissistic, not messaging back, how they didn't pay for a date, or how they didn't seem invested.

These groups operate on the misandrist idea that as long as you can argue that you feel threatened in some way, that's justification to trash a man in anyways you can. Aswell that as long as you can justify feeling in danger, men's basics rights, like the right to privacy, don't apply.
