Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 week agoA small percentage of women will ever face any sort of harassment from male drivers.
Ask any women in your life, it is not a small percentage. And you dismissing their safety concerns and prioritizing your comfort is the exact reason why this is necessary.
If all men would look at this and say “Sucks that this is needed, but way too many men are genuinely dangerous and we should actively purge them from our institutions so in the future solutions like this won’t be needed” then we would not have a problem in the first place. It is people like you that makes half the population afraid and anxious about the other half.

No, prioritizing male survivability. Be it any other group of people, people would react much differently. We have to come to solutions where the basic needs of all are met, not at expense of others.
Absolutely! No conflict here between us, harassment should not be tolerated in any way, shape or form. I just think that simply “removing men” is not a good solution even as a band-aid.
