Women Preferences Expands Nationwide
www.uber.com
Uber expands Women Preferences for women riders and drivers across the United States.

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.

    It’s shocking to me how so many people I know who are woke as fuck and quick to shout down any bigotry are so quick to drop all of their principles to hate men.

    Segregation never works, and only serves to foster fear, hatred, and division within society You cannot define what a “woman” is in a way that excluded trans-women without also excluding some cis-women with them Your gender identity is what you say it is. Others should do their best to remember any pronouns or name changes Crime is too complicated and nuanced to be reduced to statistics, which are often used by racists and bigots to justify racist and bigoted policies It’s racist to cross to the other side of the street when a person of color comes walking towards you on the side you currently are on. It’s up to you to “Men” are evil monsters who cannot be trusted and need to be locked away

    It baffles me how so many people can have all of these ideas, including the last one, and not see the cognitive dissonance there. It’s succumbing to fear and hatred, the same methods of divisive propaganda that has harmed every other group.

      Because they form their worldview around their own interests, without realizing it. The label of progressive does a lot to assume moral right and inclusiveness which hides biases of self interest. Many of the beleifs people hold were not formed from the effort of reasoning by them but adopted from the authority of progressive ideology. Religion works in much the same way. It takes concerted effort, emotional regulation and sacrifice to build a rational and consistent worldview which is something most people, even progressives, rarely attempt.
