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.
Following your example to its logical conclusion.
There is something we can do. We can hold the other grenades accountable for their explosive nature. Something that has traditionally not been done. Which has led to the situation as it stands now. The company line has always been grenades explode, that’s just their nature.
We’ve been indoctrinated into believing that if we step in and tell a man to back off from harassing a woman that we are “cock blocking” them and that is impolite. It’s not and men aren’t entitled to being allowed to talk to women just because they want to.
Assuming I’m one of these hypothetical men that you want to do that, what exactly did I fail to do? You’ve forgotten that men have also been told they don’t need a man’s assistance, they are independent and equal. Those are conflicting with being told to believe women when they say things, but don’t believe them situationally, and we must be psychically aware of when we’re supposed to act vs not act.
So what did I do wrong that warrants me being assumed to have failed at doing? If I can do better I would, I just don’t see what I missed.
