BumbleBizz Gives Women the Reins

Though it’s the 21st century, typical dynamics between men and women are still perceived as men being the aggressors and women as submissive, which is exactly what Bumble is trying to change in all areas.

We’ve previously known Bumble as a female empowered dating app allowing users to mutually connect with people in their area. For those who might need some assistance in building their personal brand, however, Bumble is here to help.

Bumble is soon to launch BumbleBizz, which allows users to create a professional profile, existing separately from any previous dating profile. Users can include what industry they work in, information about their current job, education, and more. With user’s geographical information and a unique algorithm, companies and induvials will match based on compatibility.

Though it’s the 21st century, typical dynamics between men and women are still perceived as men being the aggressors and women as submissive, which is exactly what Bumble is trying to change in all areas. One of their selling points is only allowing the female to message any male connections first, and this strategy still stands with BumbleBizz. According to Forbes, CEO and founder Whitney Wolfe said, “When there’s a chance to level the playing field, we’re going to take it every time.”

“It’s interesting, because there’s this age-old question of, ‘What do women want, what makes women tick?’ Well, it seems obvious – put a woman in charge and she will show you. And I think that is what we are beginning to see happen with apps like Bumble”, said Wolfe according to The Guardian.

So fellow feminists, what do you think?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
