- ujkhsjkdhf234 1y agoHow many frivilous assault allegations against male drivers are there? I've never heard of this happening personally.

- ujkhsjkdhf234 1y agoMe neither. I hear about assaults against female passengers but I don't believe I've read or heard about one against female drivers. I've asked a few women I've gotten in Ubers with and they say they've had some dicey situations but no out right assaults. But I don't think you were asking genuinely and just wanted to be snarky without contributing to the conversation :)
- Mawr 1y agoHis is the best response in this thread. The point is that whether you've personally heard of something or not is not a great indicator of anything. To answer the original question, wherever there is any power imbalance, there will be abuse. Priests, teachers, parents vs children; boss vs employee; "vulnerable" females vs "aggressive" males. A man complains about assault by a woman, everyone laughs. A woman complains about assault by a man, he gets thrown in jail.

- nordsieck 1y ago> How many frivilous assault allegations against male drivers are there? I've never heard of this happening personally. It comes up from time to time if you watch Uber driver videos. There's a reason why many drivers have a camera that records the interior of the car: alcohol + entitlement can manifest in many ways. Most commonly, passengers cancel the ride and expect to be driven to their destination anyways. But worse stuff happens from time to time.

- mike_hearn 1y agoDaily Mail is usually accurate. If you'd read the link you'd know they're just reporting on the contents of a viral video, and if you search the guy's name you can find reports from Mexican media. https://www.record.com.mx/contra/conductor-acusado-falsamente-de-acoso-responde-yo-como-conductor-no-tengo-acceso-esos-videos https://www.record.com.mx/contra/conductor-acusado-falsament...
- n4r9 1y ago> Daily Mail is usually accurate hmm... https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-mail/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-mail/ > Overall, we rate Daily Mail Right Biased and Questionable due to numerous failed fact checks and poor information sourcing.
- mike_hearn 1y agoWell, I rate fact checkers less reliable than the Daily Mail based on direct experience of checking both. And this particular story, as expected, has no obvious factual errors.
- birn559 1y agoIt's a way to exercise power and/or revenge over a man that you feel has offended you. Some people get offended real fast and out of nowhere. I do know people that have been / are currently victim of that. Except it goes far beyond simple allegations (after marriage breakup).

- staticman2 1y agoDo these drivers not put cameras in their vehicles? I'm having a hard time imagining how this topic of conversation would even come up?
