When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

The same way we trust that it's really painful for men to get kicked in the junk without having to experience it ourselves.

    And how do we accomplish that?

    If I knew how to make everyone empathetic we wouldn't even need to be discussing this in the first place. What a vapid question.

    Sounds like it an incredibly important question if you want more empathy in the world.

    The question of how we make empathy universal isn't the vapid question. Yours that I was responding to was.

    Either way, if women can manage the hit in the balls empathy, surely you can figure this out, too, without a step-by-step pictorial diagram and someone to hold your hand.

    You can't explain how empathy works and think understanding it is vapid so your beleifs about what is and isn't possible, how and when, seem highly suspect. How do you know men and women are equally capable of how empathy, or if what is required to encourage it, is present?
