Oh fuck off with this disingenuous bullshit. I'm a man and have never had to feel intimidated taking a taxi or Uber.
Maybe as a male passenger, you want to avoid any possibility of being accused of being intimidating.
No, not really.
As a man you are much more likely to be assaulted and murdered than women. As a man, you have much more reason to feel intimidated in a taxi. That said, very few people are assaulted in taxis.
Lmao you calling me disingenuous is fucking hilarious. Fuck off with your thinly veiled sexist beliefs and bullshit virtue signaling.
As if getting in a vehicle with any stranger isn't always intimidating to some extent.
In case you missed the memo, we're striving for gender equality, not whatever the fuck you're peddling.
People like you are literally the problem. You are literally why sexist bullshit like this is allowed to happen. People like you are why no one takes men seriously when they are sexually assaulted, or being abused by their SO.
Just fucking stop.
In case you missed the fucking memo, I am a white man. Look at my post history. Same username on other social media.
You're unhinged.
It's not sexist or discriminatory to give Lyft customers a choice of driver gender.
That's the free market at work, bitch.
So people like me saying customers should have a choice of gender is why no one takes male abuse seriously? You need to have your head examined.
If you hate women, just say you hate women.
You could at least try to hide the incel talking points you're parroting.
"I am a white man" you're loud, obnoxious, misogynistic, and opinionated in matters you clearly know nothing about. You're the worst, most stereotypical iteration of a white man.
"It's not sexist or discriminatory to give Lyft customers [the choice to discriminate based on sex]" I don't think I even need to say anything about this idiocy.
"That the free market at work, bitch" Sexist language, name-calling, and a complete lack of understanding of what the phrase "free market" means.
"So people like me saying customers should have a choice of gender" Lmao thats not at all what you're tring to say, even you don't understand what point you're trying to make.
"If you hate women, just say you hate women. You could at least try to hide the incel talking points you're parroting." Projection.
You're unhinged.
Lol so "I know you are but what am I," "you don't know what point you're trying to make," and "I don't even think I need to say anything about this idiocy" is all you've got?
We can see your shitty strawman comments about how men have to fear false accusations. You can stop pretending you're not an incel. Don't bother replying to me with that weak-ass nothing-burger of a comment.
You don't even know what "strawman" means. You're clearly just a shitty troll. You clearly don't believe any of your own bullshit. Get the fuck out of here and let the people who are genuinely trying to have a discussion speak. Don't bother replying, I'm not engaging with trolls.
Also just noticed you're from feddit.de. nice job getting defederated because your community kept posting nazi shit and cp.
