Thank for being honest.
My angle is I have a few friends who’ve been assaulted in cabs and Ubers. Yeah…they were smashed and engaging in risky behaviour…but they didn’t deserve what happened. I’m all about harm reduction.
Sure…some edge cases will always game the system…but I also can’t think of a reason not to try to address a problem.
Focus on the content instead of the diss.
No, women being able to request female drivers doesn’t put them more at risk. It’s puts them much less at risk. Why are you making things up? You fantasizing about “dark scenarios” doesn’t make them likely.
If you have any friends…chances are you have one or more that have been sexually assaulted after hiring a ride…that’s how common it is.
Right. Water is also wet. Why are we saying things everybody knows?
If you have any friends…odds are one or more have been sexually assaulted after hiring a ride….that’s how common it is. It’s reasonable to give women a less a dangerous option.
I can’t find it either…but I found this in The Village Voice from 2017: “the president of the United States is a complete fucking moron,” he seethes. “That’s what gets me the most — that he’s this vulgar, grotesque dope, everything I hate in people.”
So your logic is that because it’s theoretically possible for the system to be “gamed”…the option shouldn’t be available for anyone? SMH
Uber aren’t saints…they’re just reacting to behaviour that’s already happening: A customer can already “vet” their driver and choose somebody with lots of ratings and their preferred (declared) gender etc. This option isn’t creating any additional harm…all it’s doing is adding a filter…and therefore a niche for women who want to provide rides to females and vice versa.
A criminal lying about who they are won’t be exasperated or eliminated with this new option. There’s no downside.
