Seems sexist and discriminatory.
Are you upset she chose the bear?
I’m not upset, but this policy is sexist and discriminatory.
Not sexist, but sure discriminatory, but not in a bad way.
Who is it discriminating against?
Its discriminating who is allowed to drive certain customers around, if they so choose, because men are statistically more violent towards women. No matter how you want to paint it, that is the case. If youre so gung ho about women not wanting to feel safe, that’s entirely on you.

Whoa! OK we’re now just gonna make up stuff that the other person said? I didn’t realize that we could just put words in each other’s mouths like that. Fucking game changer bud.

Not whatever school you went to, that’s for sure. I’m glad my education didn’t fail me, like it did you.
Keep believing that.
