And we were talking about "pressure to be attractive". What form does that take. What happens to you if you are unattractive?
I call bullshit. People spend Billions to become more attractive, and rarely anything to become less attractive.
If these women would have suffered so much from the "male gaze", they could have taken steps to look as unattractive as possible way earlier than in their 70ies.
I didn't do much Android development, but last year I had to develop a small app doing a continuous background task.
Yes, it is hard to do that in Android (it seems). But you are supposed to use all sorts of other mechanisms that Android provides. Like for an alarm clock, I guess you tell some system service to play the sound and then go back to sleep. The sound keeps playing and your app sleeps (I guess - don't know this particular case).
Some things seemed really hard to do, but it is by design, and users really need to be protected from vampiric apps.
