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.
To be fair, maybe Lemmy is less social than “average”? I’m certainly contributing to that statistic.
…Still, as a guy, it’s kind of my experience everywhere. The longer I live, even as isolated as I am, the more I’m bewildered by other men being incapable of following the “don’t be a jerk” rule, incapable of shutting up and listening to women, or doing/saying straight up terrible, sexist things, all while knowing that’s the tip of the iceberg.
I can’t even imagine the experience of being a woman using Uber. It’s mind boggling that so many male commenters wag their fingers like they somehow do.
