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.
No, men are upset that there’s nothing they can do to assuage that fear. Imagine if half the world thinks you’re a grenade with a faulty spoon, and there’s nothing you can do to show that you have had your gunpowder removed and cannot explode. You’re just resigned that you will always be viewed as a threat even though you stay far away in public, don’t talk, keep eyes down, ear buds in, stay at home and hardly leave the house. What more can we expect from them? They know some men are bad, just like some women are bad. But no one told men what to do, other than to believe women when they say things, and many women said don’t approach, they don’t need men, they are independent and equal.
What do you believe the average Joe sitting in his house as a hermit should do to fix women being afraid of him when he leaves the house? Genuine question. I don’t see the solution.
