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.

I used questions to illustrate my point. My point was an invitation to reevaluate repeating a discourse that's harmful to society. Not just men.

If you'd like me to be more explicit about the statement I'm suggesting or what I actually believe, I'm more than glad to rephrase and elaborate.

I believe doing blanket attributions of to any is tribalistic hate speech regardless of how statistically likely the demographic is to commit them.

Humans are more than the demographics they belong to and we all have the ability to choose our own paths no matter where we come from or how we were born. Reducing an entire population to is not part of the problem, it is the problem.

No different than racism, elitism, classism or sexual discrimination. It's just plain dehumanization, which doesn't only lower the bar on the collective moral expectations over the group's members effectively making the horrendous acts more likely, it breeds generalized distrust and erodes empathy in society as a whole.

When you reduce groups of people, each a human being with their own circumstances and fears and struggles and trauma and feelings to "those ppl that do that horrible thing" you strip the individuals of the group you might actually meet and interact with from the benefit of doubt, the possibility of being different from what you attribute and perpetuate the very dynamic you resent them for.

I feel like the questions were a more elegant (and succinct) approach, but to each their own.

Dude, it's not that deep. Uber has a rapey problem and they figured out that this is the cheapest way to handle it.

I wasn't even talking about uber and i think their initiative is good.
