RE: About family, home, safety etc.
That uber story is a bit of a worry. It's interesting that it's always women who have to check their behaviour, never men, even though men are the ones committing these crimes against women. Hmm.....
Yes, there is definitely more victim blaming when the victim is a woman. It needs to change on a societal level. And re Uber, I'm generally all for it. I just hate that one bad guy has the power to make it feel like a less safe option for some passengers. I always thought their rating system is really good, never occurred to me that people may refrain from giving a bad rating because they're afraid.
I guess this will be a moot point at some stage, when the uber fleet is made up of driverless vehicles. Seems like sooner rather than later may be a good thing.
