Dedicated to ending equality.

There’s also the question of whether this is empowering women or patronizing them. So I put the question to social media and, to my surprise, got a unanimous response: yes, if there were a women-only ridesharing service, every woman who answered my question would use it. Women in my unscientific poll mentioned feeling anxious when they get in a car with a strange man, not trusting the vetting process used by current services and the “creep factor.” The enthusiasm for an all-female service ranged from “I would be all over it” to “HELL YES.” And one woman pretty much summed up the issue with her response: “Honestly, yes, probably. I do sigh in relief when I get into a car with a woman.”

I'm not sure I have a problem with this, aside from the hypothetical double-standard where a person would be in trouble for suggesting a no-girls-allowed rideshare. But that hasn't happened and probably won't because women just aren't scary in that sort of short-term exposure.

Absent a culture of civility and service to one another that has been missing from the world for decades, it's pretty sensible for a woman to be cautious around a stranger who has 70 pounds over her and an irrational interest in the area between her legs. Fear is an awful feeling to experience every day while you're just trying to ride to work.

If a woman doesn't even want to share a cab with a man, there's no way in hell she's going to share a bathroom with one.  This is ALL about equality.  You either support it, or you don't.

A ladies' room reeks of blood and dying flowers, so I'll definitely put my support behind no-girls-allowed restrooms.
