Part of the "Delete Uber" movement was because the company's behavior hurt women customers. For example:
1. Lying about conducting background checks on drivers, some of whom committed violent crimes against women passengers,
2. Illegally obtaining a the medical history of a woman who was raped by her Uber driver in an attempt to discredit her claims against the company,
3. And coercing rape victims into arbitration clauses that mandate silence against the company.
Of course, men can be victims of sexual assault, but it's a crime that disproportionately affects women, and, perhaps, if Uber's internal culture wasn't so anti-woman it's possible they would have treated women customers better as well.
