Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US
minorkeys@lemmy.world 8 hours agoThat is not a task for men. That is a demand from women. If men can only decide to believe based on the trust they have with the speaker then the speaker must earn their trust. It is not men’s responsibility to become trusting of women, just because women want it. If women want men to trust their words then it’s women’s responsibility to gain men’s trust. It would be profoundly unwise of men to believe without either trust or safety. How often do you ever concern yourself with the safety of men?
This is kind of an insane take.
Women have always been vulnerable. Women get raped and sexually assaulted at rates far beyond men. Women are easy targets because they are, on average, physically weaker than males. 50% of women will suffer a sexual assault of some kind in their life. Just 3% of men report a sexual assault.
What’s so insane about it?
I agree that women have and will likely continue to be, physically vulnerable to larger people, most often from those whom are men, because they more often bigger. Women suffer from this vulnerability in a variety of ways, including sexual assault. That risk, and the severity of the consequences, deserves community effort to mitigate.
Where’s the insane part?

I think we all need to do the work to understand the problems faced by different groups. Women need to be doing this too. This isn’t a thread about problems men face, however.
