This article is about women creating websites and
posting about men who have lied and cheated on them. By doing this, women want to warn other women
to not date those particular guys who are nothing but just liars. The author’s purpose of this article is to let
us readers know and beware of what is going on the real world, that is now can
be found online. If a woman does not
trust the man she is talking to or does not know enough about him, which he is
not telling her, she can look him up anytime online. Alvarez points out that these websites has
been sometimes helpful and amusing, but it has also enraged men who were either
guilty or not. The men in this situation
has sent email messages or made phone calls to have their names and photographs
taken down. It is said that these
websites are biased and damaging if the story was not true. The author obtains her information from the
website creators themselves by interviews.
I found this article really useful because it gives women the chance to
voice what they have to say through social media. In the old days, women were not allowed to do
anything if men lied or cheated on her.
Thanks to social media and the Internet, women can reveal these horrible
men and prevent such problems from happening again.
