Hello. You now know me. I have none of those stories. Women have been nothing but respectful to me.
But if you're comfortable sharing, I would love to hear your story about how you were harassed by a female Uber driver.
I'm a guy. I was harassed by a female uber driver once (I wrote about it here) and I also...
[sexual coersion trigger warning]
I was raped by a women while intoxicated a few years ago. It didn't traumatize me heavily, but I definitely was raped. Would you like to hear about it?
I usually have positive interactions with women and appreciate the ones in my life, but just cause these things are rare doesn't mean they don't happen.
That's horrible. I don't know how to do a spoiler tag, but let's just say ; same.
So to stay on topic. Would you use a feature that let you not have women drivers?
I'm sorry you went through that.
Not really, no. I don't mind.
That's super awkward. Sorry you had to deal with that.
To stay on topic, would you use an option to not ride with women drivers now?
I don't take uber or taxis. But I've had random women come up to me in public places and grab my private parts, or say sexually suggestive things, and it makes me feel kinda paralyzed, like a deer in headlights, cause what am I gonna do, be the guy that yells at a woman for sexual assault? And then I just never go back in that store for a few months.
