The hack of the “cheaters website” has done a lot in the way
of allowing the average American to see where there are still epic
flaws in our society. Many men point to women as the problem, and women
point at men. But is there a legitimate answer when dissecting the data
of the website?
Gizmodo believes so.
Gizmodo did an in-depth evaluation of the women using the
Ashley Madison website and found out an astonishing amount of
information after analyzing the data.
Gizmodo
took a look at female profiles on the site and discovered that most of
them were never used at all after they were created. In fact, the site
estimates that roughly 12,000 of the 5.5 million registered female
accounts are actually used by women on a regular basis. Gizmodo used
a lot of smart detective work to come up with this estimate, including
looking at IP addresses that created a suspiciously large number of
women’s profiles.
They also found that men were checking messages from other
potential cheaters at a rate of 13,585 : 1. This means for every woman
who checked a message, 13,585 men were checking theirs, which indicates
that males are more likely to cheat than females, right?
“Overall, the picture is grim indeed. Out of 5.5 million
female accounts, roughly zero percent had ever shown any kind of
activity at all, after the day they were created,” Gizmodo
writes. “The men’s accounts tell a story of lively engagement with the
site, with over 20 million men hopefully looking at their inboxes, and
over 10 million of them initiating chats. The women’s accounts show so
little activity that they might as well not be there.”
Is it not already cheating to create an account on a website
known to connect cheaters even if you never fulfill your intentions? I
would say so. But I don’t have an account on Ashley Madison. In fact, I
didn’t even know this website existed until the hackers released the
information.
Let’s touch on that shall we? The release of this
information is bothersome. Nothing says, “I’m superior to you in every
way, so I will destroy the lives of those that I don’t know to prove a
point about me being superior,” than releasing the Ashley Madison
information.
So who in our society is really superior? Is it those now
judging all others for making different life decisions? Perhaps the
Ashley Madison warriors feel good about
outing Christian Josh Duggar?
Maybe. But I would wager that everyone pointing a finger of blame has
at least three fingers pointing back at them. There is no satisfaction
in ruining marriages and hurting others across America. However, social
justice warriors and gossip guzzlers keep tossing people they don’t know
under the bus for a buck.
