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.

    And women don’t experience accusations of sexual harrassment at the same level that men do.

    Men also experience plain physical assault at ~5x the rate of women.

    Why can’t we just support equality for everyone? Why is that so hard?

      At least part of it is because of people like you who get upset whenever someone challenges the grossly inequitous status quo.

            that’s literally why I bought up the topic of equality… and you’re resisting it because… actually there is no reason to resist equality.

              What you brought up is an appeal to maintain the current iniquitous status quo, by suggesting that the real problem with men being the aggressors in the vast majority of sexual assaults isn’t the sexual assaults, but that some men might be falsely accused. But hey, if women want to protect themselves from that, we should legalise excluding them and reducing their service options in other areas, because you know, that’s what equality looks like…

              The thing is, you don’t give a shit about the real world manifestation of inequality. What you want is a platonic ideal of equality, which doesn’t exist in the real world, and using it as the measure, just ensures that real world inequality stays around and never gets challenged, because people like you can point to the rules and say “We already have equality” .

                don’t tell me what I want. you lost all credibility by doing that. I have stopped caring about your words as a result.

                equality, new rule (clearly not pushing status quo…) shuld be usable by everyone, not a select few.

                stop pushing for inequality then gas lighting and assuming you know what someone desires

                  You did that part when you said that trying to change the status quo is inequality…
