Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US (www.uber.com)

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 can’t help but imagine the outrage

Literally only you can prevent that. This is something that affects 50% of the population universally. For some reason you can't comprehend this being an exception to the rule. Only you can be that change, no one can do that for you. I hope you are able to stop imagining fake outrage one day. It's a long journey, but I believe in you.

If you know any women in your life, which I assume by your comment you don't or they don't talk to you anymore, ask them when the last time they were sexually harassed.

The fact it might have literally been yesterday shouldn't be shocking to you.
