Reddit.

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.

Men, some subgroup of men in particular, are at a higher risk of false accusations than of sexual assault.

Are they? The former seems pretty much unheard of while the latter ain't uncommon. I think the only subgroup of men where the risk of being "falsely" accused of SA is high are men who commit SA and just don't believe it is SA. Of course perception of risk can vary and the (perceived) severity of the event matters as well.

Yes. Higher risk of one thing over another does not mean high.

The rates of SA of men is also high. Its a common thing. Granted, perhaps not as common as men who commit SA.
