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

  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.

    When did I say you make me feel that way?

    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 just clicked I think! I never said it’s women’s fault. When did I say that? I think that might have been projection on your part possibly?

        Its called miscommunication. We are clearly talking past each other and I’m trying to find you. I have no idea. So I keep asking questions till I figure out where you are so I can learn from you. I can’t learn from you without understanding you first.

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

        That’s ableism. I’m autistic and don’t process or communicate that way, and have time blindness. I’m sorry I made you feel like I put you in an unfair situation, it was not my intent. I will try to slow down and be more careful about making edits when talking to you specifically. I wouldn’t want you to feel like I’m being unfair to you.

        I will proof read more carefully for the rest of this particular thread.

        And then sadly I will probably forget we had this conversation after it concludes. But I still will have appreciated it while it lasted. ♥️

      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.

        Where did I claim men don’t pose a threat to women? Quote me.

        Isn’t that true too?
