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.
Not according to your original comment.
It’s not women’s fault that they make moves to protect themselves when out in public. ** It’s not a personal attack on you that women don’t want to be raped or assaulted.** Just because a woman may opt to ride with a female driver doesn’t mean that they refuse to interact with men in public.
The men that are in my life haven’t been in my life since I was born. How do you think men who have relationships with women (all types of relationships, not just romantic) do it? You cannot tell me that all men are cowering in their homes because they’re just so scared of women being scared of them because it’s objectively not true.
Edit::
You’re putting words in my mouth. I’m not irrationally afraid of you. If women opting to protect themselves makes you feel like women are coming at you with a knife, that’s entirely a ‘you’ problem.
When did I say you make me feel that way? You just put words in my mouth too. We’re miscommunicating.
Yes they are. And your refusal to admit men can feel fear about women is amazingly sexist. Sounds like you think it’s impossible for women to present a threat to a man.
I’ve got an amazing piece of news for you. Not all men are a monolith. Just because the only men you’ve had in your life suck doesn’t mean all men suck.
That’s like saying I ate rotten bread. Thus all bread is rotten.
I never said the men in my life suck, I said the exact opposite. Are you fighting ghosts? What’s happening here?
It just clicked I think! I never said it’s women’s fault. When did I say that? I think that might have been projection on your part possibly?
Its called miscommunication. We are clearly talking past each other and I’m trying to find you. I have no idea. So I keep asking questions till I figure out where you are so I can learn from you. I can’t learn from you without understanding you first. Perhaps you can ask me some smaller incremental questions?
You did not ask a single question in the comment above:
It’s not fair to edit your comments in an active conversation - I’m missing parts of your reply.
That’s ableism. I’m autistic and don’t process or communicate that way, and have time blindness. I’m sorry I made you feel like I put you in an unfair situation, it was not my intent. I will try to slow down and be more careful about making edits when talking to you specifically. I wouldn’t want you to feel like I’m being unfair to you.
I will proof read more carefully for the rest of this particular thread.
And then sadly I will probably forget we had this conversation after it concludes. But I still will have appreciated it while it lasted. ♥️
I don’t care.
Adding to your comments while we’re actively communicating back and forth is rude. I cannot reply to the new info you’re shoving in there because you’re editing after I’ve already seen your comment.
This is a common internet courtesy. I suggest you reply in a new comment rather than edit if you have more to say in a conversation.
Where did I refuse to admit men can feel fear about women? Quote me.
I don’t think it’s impossible for women to present a threat to a man. The inverse is true though and pretending like men don’t pose a threat to women is being really disingenuous.
Where did I claim men don’t pose a threat to women? Quote me.
Isn’t that true too?
