Tinder Translator
Tinder Translator: An AZ of Modern Misogyny | Aileen Barratt
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Tinder Translator is your hilarious and empowering feminist companion to the world of online dating apps, the patriarchy and self-love from Aileen Barratt of @TinderTranslators. Ten years after the introduction of Tinder, dating apps have changed the terrain of human interaction and healthy relationships, but many feel like theyve been sent into the wilderness without a guide. For those dating cis-het men especially, the blatant misogyny encountered during every swipe session is depressing and enraging in equal measure. And then there is the not-so-blatant stuff. Scrolling through profile after profile, youll see the same stock phrases: Good vibes only. Must have banter. Just ask. But what do they actually mean? Through her Instagram account, Aileen has heard from thousands of people on their dating experiences, in addition to her own years spent on dating apps. This dictionary of douchebaggery is part reference, part rant and part rallying cry for anyone navigating the sometimes gross and exhausting experience of dating, but also just for everyone who is sick of the patriarchy, whatever their relationship status. A fun small hardback, Tinder Translator is the perfect gift for friends (or for yourself) whether they're dating or not. It will make you laugh, sigh, think, and leave you feeling empowered and resilient.

This is one of those books that is funny until it's just plain depressing.

Aileen Barratt dissects Tinder toxicity with humour, precision, & no compromise. Mostly, this is an entertaining & validating book.

I don't agree with everything. (No one has a right to judge whether someone's reasons for not dating someone with kids or other characteristics is "valid". And "let's see what happens" is a perfectly reasonable) attitude.

Still... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The A to Z of Tinder misogyny.

I'm not on Tinder, but when I've done online dating in the past, the "No Timewasters" line makes my blood boil.

Aileen Barratt sums it up succinctly.

I think I'm going to go back to standing around looking enigmatic in bookshops and hoping to bump into a soulmate in the fantasy section ??
