@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ And in fact I don't. But from the company's point of view, these men's behavior is causing them a huge loss because women are following your advice. They're just not using Uber. And they need half the population to use Uber clearly

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ however the cause isn't the immutable characteristic, it's the statistical behavior. It's not gender for the sake of gender like excluding women typically was.

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ because again, men aren't becoming victims of violent crimes on uber seats. most men who are victims of violent crimes are in violent settings themselves.They're not getting randomly beaten up by their driver or by their colleague or their teacher. It's the opposite for women

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ also the people who want what you carry are 10 times stronger than you.If you were tiny and all male drivers were gay and if gay men had a reputation of doing the most vile things to people like u, if you had grown up being repeatedly harassed by them, would it make a difference?

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ This is not discrimination. Discrimination would be excluding male drivers because they're male. They're not being excluded on account of being male. They're being excluded on account of male drivers causing issues and female customers not using the platform because of that

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ I take taxis in my town, they're super safe. The chances of the driver being a danger are very low. Does it still feel odd for me to get on a car with a male stranger in the night?Yes, I'm tiny and he's in control. No offense to him, I'm sure he's a great guy. It's just a reality

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ But there have been verified employees causing issues. Also, again, women who commute or travel are constantly and daily exposed to harassment. They're literally traumatized lmao they don't care if the man is verified, they fear him. Why can't we make it easier for them?

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ no group on earth has the record man has lmao no group on earth. look at all the criminals that used uber to do whatever they pleased. Black, white, poor, rich, all kinds of ages. What do they all have in common? They're men. Period, that's it. It's that simple

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ wdym where is the data? 😭 the news? 😭 every scandal Uber has had in the recent years was caused by men tricking women into getting on their car and women had to be warned to always check for the plate as pervs were infiltrating the platform. how do u think the convo started?

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ so if you asked me to choose my Uber driver. Black or white? I don't care. Poor or rich? I don't care. Young or old? I might care a bit more but not that much. Man or woman? I would definitely care. Again, based on my experience. But since this is for women I think it counts

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ it could if it were supported by actual data and if other demographic groups were actually as scared and in danger as women. Men commit like 97% of viol3nt crimes? No other group has that kind of record. And every single woman has a story if not 10. You do the math

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@spacemanspiff76 @itspendoh @damnidc__ how is that the same? the option exists cause a safety issue exists. It doesn't exist to discriminate male drivers or benefit female drivers. It's to give female customers who are scared (and rightfully so) a safer option. What would be the point of only male or white drivers?

@lorenzosososo @Jamal_85H @misslamento_ certo che anche 400 è troppo, non darei però la colpa al paese invaso che se ne stava tranquillo per i fatti suoi 💀 secondo te cosa dovrebbe fare un paese invaso, mettersi comodo e farsi radere al suolo o difendersi?

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@lorenzosososo @misslamento_ In che parte del tweet ho scritto questo? (tenendo comunque conto che la nostra costituzione ripudia la guerra offensiva e riconosce quella difensiva)

[Retro threads @retro_threads_]

@lorenzosososo @misslamento_ Appunto stiamo finanziando l'Ucraina, il paese invaso. Che piaccia o no c'è un invaso e un invasore. La Russia ha subito sanzioni, non aiuti, miliardi e incoraggiamenti. In questo caso è il contrario, finanziamo le bombe di un genocidio.
