But she's no true woman!

Admittedly, this reply is tongue-in-cheek because I'm amused at how positively bizarre this subthread is.



I mean I have to eat my hat for sure.

I should have not have just trusted the parent comment and just looked at how it worked. I wrongly assumed it was some account setting like “enable tips” and then it walks you through a PayPal setup and then suddenly millions of people are going to be unwittingly exposing their address to strangers potentially without knowing and with no alternative except to not accept payments. It’s literally just a way to add tip links to your profile which is way more benign.


To be fair, I thought it worked the way you described it too, and was aghast at how anyone could have thought this was a good idea, man or woman.


Please don't do this here.


Sorry, I explained myself more under the sibling's reply. The way I understood it seemed such a gross vulnerability that it should have sounded terrible to either gender, but apparently the actual feature is much more tame.
