Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

unless you’ve actually literally lived as a woman you cannot know the monumental amount of sexual harassment we face and fear on a day-to-day basis. doubly so for trans women. every single moment i am alone in public i am deathly anxious that i could be harassed (sexually or otherwise) or hate-crimed or whatever. and the worst part is, there’s nothing i could do about it. the perpetrator would get away scot-free. the cops do not fucking care

however bad you think it is, it’s worse. whatever you’re imagining, it is exponentially more horrendous

As a man, I genuinely wonder how much actual harassment women face vs how much they hear about it, driving the anxiety.

I get to feel that a lot of these fears are real, but many are manufactured. But I can be wrong.

Anecdotally, last week I (middle aged lady) was approached by two strange men. One tried to grab me outside my work site, and one told me how lovely I was and asked for my number (in target). It’s much, much worse for young women. It’s not manufactured, unlike the doubt of women’s lived experience seems to be.
