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 the issue people are taking is with collective punishment and validating prejudice.

    I don't care as a man if women hate us anymore. So be it, I just want anyone who does not like me, as far the fuck away from me. I don't trust other people, so why should other people trust me?

    I expect other people to not trust me as much as I don't trust them, and I act like it. I hate walking behind other people, I keep a distance from them as if they have corona, I detest bus rides, because I am crammed and forced into contact with other people. It is a horrific torture every day. I got my co-worker nothing for 8th march, because it can be misconstrued as something else, and I don't want to risk that, would rather be seen as uncaring or a prick.
