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.

Right, every single woman on the planet has had multiple uncomfortable, or even dangerous or violent, interactions with men, but people in this thread are pretending that it's outrageous that someone is acknowledging that very obvious and well-known fact.

I'm a man, and I don't blame women at all for avoiding us. I don't know why every woman isn't a lesbian. Men are generally awful.
