Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US (www.uber.com)

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.

The amount of falsely accused is less than 5% of all the rape cases.

So a women getting actually raped is about 20 times more likely than a man being falsely accused of rape.

And that is only counting all the instances where the rape got reported.

LOL how could you possibly know that?

Not sure what you're getting at here. Do you think this is some sort of competition for who is the biggest victim? And only the victor should be granted "equality"?

people just... don't get it. I'm shocked everytime I mention equality, and get met with the above nonsense. lol

I will never understand people's thought processes. if I said no women should have this, sure... but I'm asking for everyone to have the same right, like... what?

Forget it, humans are a lost cause. They should be allowed to go extinct.
