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.

I think we all need to do the work to understand the problems faced by different groups. Women need to be doing this too. This isn’t a thread about problems men face, however.

    Few of them ever are...which is an example of the point. Stories of men's experiences are not wanted. So when the topics affecting men are brought up, it's the closest many get to being heard. Which, of course, they get attacked for. It's not the place but there is no place so it never gets heard. Seems to me like a little system of censorship and oppression.
