TubeCrush
TubeCrush.net is a British website for women and gay men to upload picture of men they find attractive on the London underground.〔Matt Cooke.("Tube and train commuters caught on camera". ) ''BBC'', 8/24/2011.〕 The website has become very popular since its creation as a "drunken joke" by four young roommates.〔Jenni Marsh. ("Who is your Tube Crush?". ) ''London Evening Standard'', 4/18/2011.〕
==Allegations of sexism==
The company behind TubeCrush.net has come under scrutiny due to their decision only to show pictures of men on their website. When Andy Kaufman, the technical controller of the website was asked about the issue by the BBC, he said:
We felt like men taking pictures of women on the tube feels different - it's not the same as gay men or women taking pictures of other men.
This prompted an outrage on many social media outlets, but the founders have stated in other press interviews that they are "working on" a version that allows users to upload photos of women.
Sunny Hundal for ''The Guardian'' wrote〔Sunny Hundal. ("The dubious joys of perving over fellow passengers online". ) ''The Guardian'', 4/19/2011.〕
What struck me was the casual way that the Evening Standard reported on the story in a "oh look, cool young things have set up a website so we can perve on each other" type of way. Maybe it was just an extremely slow news day. But if the sexes had been reversed, would it have been seen so benign? Probably not. I just found the Evening Standard's casual attitude a bit off.
