My wife gets hit on and asked out all the time when taking Ubers/Lyfts by herself. It's unfortunate, but it's just a reality for women.

- colechristensen 1y agoReport it an give 1 star every time.
- Marsymars 1y agoAlso report it to your city if they have a mechanism for registering rideshare drivers.
- happytoexplain 1y agoI rarely use these services, so I don't know the facts, but multiple times I have heard a woman say she is afraid to give a bad rating or report because the driver picked her up at her home, so he might return. I assume drivers can't see who is reporting/rating, but the fear is that they can use basic logic to make an assumption about who it was.

- AlecSchueler 1y ago> So you put all future women in danger ... This is victim blaming. They are taking the steps necessary to protect themselves after having been assaulted.
- happytoexplain 1y agoFirst, I don't know why you're using the word "you". Second, if I was the person in question, why would you punish a woman for expressing a fear by verbally abusing her like this? Besides being a hideous thing to do, it also teaches her to not voice fears in the future. Wouldn't the obvious talking point be the thing causing the fear, rather than insulting and belittling a person for being afraid? >afraid that whatever Uber puts in place to anonymize your bad rating is insufficient? This seems like a reasonable concern. Why are you framing it as an insult, as if you were trying to bully a person into trusting a company? Why would a person trust Uber/Lyft to be transparently secure and technically thorough about this detail? In other services, service-providers can and have used basic reasoning skills to identify clients who gave bad reviews. >I suggest clicking help and reporting the driver directly I don't understand - reporting suffers the same problem, as I mentioned in the comment you're replying to.
- sneak 1y agoMy partner was sexually assaulted in a Lyft. Background checks only detect people who have been previously accused or convicted; they don't protect against people who haven't been caught yet. At the core of it, a woman is getting into a vehicle with a stranger.

- gishglish 1y agoMy girlfriend had some driver straight up offer her $100 for sex one night. Another weirdo started stalking her, spamming her coworkers, etc. It’s absolutely insane to me. Worst I’ve ever had in an uber were geriatric drivers who probably shouldn’t have had their license still.

- fragmede 1y agoThis is why Waymo is the preferred choice when sending a ride for a woman, especially at nighttime.
- DANmode 1y agoSpeak for yourself: some of us still reside in civilization, where the preferred choice is driving the woman yourself.
- fragmede 1y agoYou mean the part of civilization that requires every single last person own and operate and have space to store their own 3,000 lb pedestrian mower, especially while intoxicated? No thanks!
- DANmode 1y agoNo part of civilization requires you to be intoxicated. But, some parts certainly feel that way!
- jajko 1y agoThe pain of having an attractive wife or female partner. Some guys are so aggressive a-holes that more decent women end up shying away from men in general. Imagine being hit easily 10-50x a day, every effin' day. Work, street, public transport, online, everywhere. Guys really think inviting pretty ladies 'for a coffee' aint something they heard 100x that week already. Dated one such lady, the trauma and trust issues were real. Either they get spolied for attention or get traumatized. Everybody loses.
