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.

Yes, they have to. Maybe not rape, but if you take a look at statistics of street violence, nearly in every country, you will see that men are victims, too. In many countries they are all so quite overrepresented here. In my country, men are over twice as often victims of violence on the streets as women.

So yes, you have to worry as a men when you're out there at night. And it's one of the most infuriating things about this debate that people are totally denying that half of the population can be victims of violence and accusing others of being misogynistic incels. Talk to the men in your life and they will tell you about sketchy and violent situations out there.

You might also think about what we are talking about here: A billion dollar company is not vetting their drivers correctly. They are talking the sketchiest people, are not doing any form of interview process and are therefore having a problem with their employees hurting, abusing, raping their customers. Their solution is not to increase the safety for everybody, but to accuse one gender of being generally abusive. And if people critic that, they are flamed as incels here? That's stupid.
