Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US
MerryJaneDoe@lemmy.world 6 hours agoThis 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?
