RE: About family, home, safety etc.

That uber story is a bit of a worry. It's interesting that it's always women who have to check their behaviour, never men, even though men are the ones committing these crimes against women. Hmm.....

Sort:  

Yes, there is definitely more victim blaming when the victim is a woman. It needs to change on a societal level. And re Uber, I'm generally all for it. I just hate that one bad guy has the power to make it feel like a less safe option for some passengers. I always thought their rating system is really good, never occurred to me that people may refrain from giving a bad rating because they're afraid.

I guess this will be a moot point at some stage, when the uber fleet is made up of driverless vehicles. Seems like sooner rather than later may be a good thing.
