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.
These fucking comments. Anytime anything is done to make women safer men get up in arms and upset. “What about me?” cries the incel.
Yeah, lets reduce the number of incels systematically. We can start by reducing the number of male births.
You keep making comments saying this but I want to know what you plan is. How would you implement this?
There are a number of ways, I’m not inclined toward authoritarian measures. An incentive structure could be built to encourage genetic interventions (at least once that technology matures). Just kind of like some natalists want to encourage births in general. It would have a pretty gentle effect at most but again, I’m aiming for overall harm reduction. The reduction of male births isn’t the goal, its a tool to reach a goal.
In addition, a cultural movement could apply soft social pressure and normalize the practice of aborting boys and trying until a couple gets a girl. This would be difficult though not impossible. Cultural movements that started as a minority opinion pop up pretty frequently these days.
If we were to get authoritarian with it though, of course things get both easier and harder. Easier in that you could just mandate things, in reality this would probably just create black market situations and cause more harm than good. It might be possible to put something in drinking water to significantly decrease the chances of male births as well if you want to validate the conspiracy theorist types, though you could just be open with it and get people to accept it.
All I did was literally agree.
I haven’t been here for very long, but it’s clear where all the incels went.
God forbid we recognize that men perpetuate most violence committed against women. We might hurt men’s feelings /s
Funny for someone fighting against reducing male births. Ironic.
Almost like supporting safety measures for women doesn’t mean I’m sexist against men lol
Well, actually, less male births sounds like a great idea. It would solve the issue really fast. I don’t see why you would be against it.
Men can be great - I love the men in my life. You’re just trying to fuel the gender wars to rile up discord here.
I’m a misanthrope, less men = less people long-term, less rape from men due to less men = less hate for men, works for me all-around. Humans more isolated in general, also works for me, because my entire thing lately is I think humans will exploit each other as long as they are allowed to, a.k.a as long as they keep being together. Men and women isolating themselves is not the ideal way to achieve this, but it is a way.
I’m not even going to hide it, it serves my other isolationist agenda. Plus, If women can no longer trust men, and men tend to be pretty upset about it, them just not being together would solve this problem pretty fast, this also goes in line with my belief that supply and demand does apply to humans too, so the less of them there are around, the more valuable all of them are.
Any time there is a thread speaking about independence, cutting people off, growing your own food, etc, I tend to get right on it. I didn’t even get upset that women want to not interact with men, because I am primed to accept not being wanted, I don’t consider this world mine.
There it is, no lies.
You’re completely overlooking the beauty and love in this world in favor of your misanthropic views and I don’t and can’t agree with you.

And opposing a safety feature so that women can travel easier and with less risk is not sexist? Women don’t deserve to be more safe because men are upset that most violence against women is perpetuated by men?
It just looks like you’re throwing a fit for the truth being told and women trying to mitigate that danger.
1 in 3 women worldwide have experienced physical and/or sexual violence at the hands of men. Be part of the solution if that fact bothers you.
I’m fine with this if they allow male drivers to avoid women clients.
If you’re a male driver trying to avoid women clients, you don’t have to worry as the women are likely already avoiding you.
… Do you also have to walk down the street at night and worry about being raped or grabbed? If so, do you worry about men or women being the primary perpetrator??
