Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

There’s nothing men can do to assuage that fear? Are you serious?

Be kind. Be gentle. Get involved in your communities. Get to know your neighbors. Volunteer. Be a known and safe presence for your peers. Be engaged in your hobbies and share your knowledge with others. Live your life with honesty and integrity.

I love men and I love the men in my life. Men can be great. Throwing your hands up and whining that women haven’t told you what to do to be a good person so you simply won’t try is acting like a child.

I do all those things though. What else can I do?

  You’re just resigned that you will always be viewed as a threat even though you stay far away in public, don’t talk, keep eyes down, ear buds in, stay at home and hardly leave the house.
  
  Not according to your original comment.
  
  It’s not women’s fault that they make moves to protect themselves when out in public.** It’s not a personal attack on you that women don’t want to be raped or assaulted.** Just because a woman may opt to ride with a female driver doesn’t mean that they refuse to interact with men in public.
  
  The men that are in my life haven’t been in my life since I was born. How do you think men who have relationships with women (all types of relationships, not just romantic) do it? You cannot tell me that all men are cowering in their homes because they’re just so scared of women being scared of them because it’s objectively not true.

    Yes they are. And your refusal to admit men can feel fear about women is amazingly sexist. Sounds like you think it’s impossible for women to present a threat to a man.

    I never said the men in my life suck, I said the exact opposite. Are you fighting ghosts? What’s happening here?

    It’s not fair to edit your comments in an active conversation - I’m missing parts of your reply.

    Where did I refuse to admit men can feel fear about women? Quote me.
    
    I don’t think it’s impossible for women to present a threat to a man. The inverse is true though and pretending like men don’t pose a threat to women is being really disingenuous.
