When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.
Men could quit being disgusting predators…
The vast majority of men never were. How few do you need to feel safe? No men ever? Do you even know?
How would you know? Ask your friends and father, your siblings and uncles, how many of them have sexually assulted or harassed a woman; do you believe them? Have you ever cat called or leered? Made inappropriate jokes or comments? Are you a rapist?
More than 1/3 of women have been sexually assaulted; that means of your mom and grand mothers one of them has likely been vicitimized by the male bullshit you are trying to claim isnt an issue. Why not ask them? Think you can handle the truth?
Sexual assault rates of women are not direct indicators of the number of, or gender of, perpetrators. 1/3 of women being victims doesn’t make 1/3 of men perpetrators. That does not follow.
Asking people if they’re a sexual abuser isn’t going to have them saying yes. This is a known barrier in research to getting accurate information of prevalence because people won’t be honest if you ask them if they are an abuser. So asking men I know really isn’t great advice, is it?
Also let me guess, 1/3 of women experience sexual assault of some kind, at some point in their life? That’s a pretty wide net to cast…
Perhaps you can clarify what makes someone a ‘disgusting predator’ so we’re both not he same page?
Go have those conversations.
For reasons that should be obvious, no.
