A NEW RIDESHARING SERVICE TO BE
LAUNCHED IN THE COMING DAYS, BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE LITTLE UPSET
ABOUT IT AND FEEL THAT IT IS DISCRIMINATORY.
THIS RIGHT
SHARING SERVICE IS REFERRED TO AS CHARIOT FOR WOMEN, AND WHAT
IT AIMS TO DO IS ENSURE THAT WOMEN CAN BE DRIVEN AROUND BY
OTHER WOMEN.
LET ME GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS.
SO ESSENTIALLY,
IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AS A WOMAN BEING DRIVEN AROUND BY A
MAN, WITH UBER LIST OR ANY OF THESE OTHER RIDESHARING
SERVICES, THIS OPTION IS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE
FOR YOU BEGINNING APRIL 19.
ALREADY THERE IS SOME QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER THIS IS LEGAL
AND WHETHER THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF DISCRIMINATION, BECAUSE
THE COMPANY OBVIOUSLY IS ONLY GOING TO HIRE FEMALE DRIVERS.
>> IT'S DISCRIMINATORY, YES IT IS.
BUT I WANT TO ADDRESS MEN FOR ONE 2ND.
WE HAVE OVER, WE HAVE LEFT, THIS IS FOR WOMEN TO FEEL SAFE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF YOU GUYS THAT ARE CREEPS.
YOU KNOW IT, I KNOW IT.
JUST ADMITTED.
USE UBER.
USE LIFT.
SHUT THE HELL UP.
LET THIS GO AS IT IS SO WOMEN CAN FEEL SAFE.
WE HAVE GIRLFRIENDS, WE HAVE DAUGHTERS, WIVES, SISTERS,
MOTHERS.
IF WOMEN WANT TO FEEL SAFE, I LOVE WOMEN, I WANT YOU TO
FEEL SAFE.
I HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE HASSLES AND CREEPS THAT WHEN THEY
ARE DRUNK, THEY BECOME HASSLES AND EVEN WORSE CREEPS.
I HAVE FEMALE FRIENDS THAT HAVE NOT FELT SAFE IN SOME OF
THESE RIDESHARING APPS, BUT IF THIS IS WHAT IT TAKES FOR
YOU ALL TO FILL SAFE AND HAVE FUN, GO AHEAD.
>> IS A SOLUTION.
THERE IS A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF
FEMALE VICTIMS COMPARED TO MEN, NOT TO SAY THAT MEN ARE NOT
VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT ARRAY BECAUSE THEY ARE, BUT WOMEN ARE
MORE.
THIS DOES HAPPEN IN CABS, AND CAR SERVICES, NEW BIRTH.
WHERE IS THE ALTERNATIVE DACKS WEARS A SOLUTION DACKS IN MY
OPINION, THIS IS A SOLUTION.
MY DAD IS THE ONE WHO FORWARDED ME
THIS ARTICLE.
HE WAS EXCITED BECAUSE I THINK UBER'S AND The
Time for Work, and He Felt like You Just Stated, Oh Great This
Is a Great Alternative for My Daughter Because God for Bid, to
Ever Want Her to Be a Victim of Rape in a Cab or
She Can't Get out.
>> I THINK THERE IS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE AND I SURPRISINGLY
ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF THIS.
THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE IT STARTS
OFF WITH THE UNFAIR ASSUMPTION THAT MEN IN AMERICA JUST POSE A
THREAT TO WOMEN.
I THINK THAT IS UNFAIR BECAUSE IT ALSO MAKES
IT SEEM AS THOUGH WOMEN COULD NEVER BE SEXUAL PREDATORS THAT
WE'VE DONE VARIOUS STORIES ON WOMEN WHO WERE SEXUAL PREDATORS
WHETHER THEY WERE EDUCATORS ARE IN A POSITION OF POWER THEY CAN
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUNGER PEOPLE WORKING UNDER THEM ARE BEING
EDUCATED UNDER THEM.
WITH THAT SAID, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE
ARE SOME WOMEN WHO MIGHT FEEL UNSAFE.
MAYBE CREATING A
RIDESHARING SERVICE THAT GIVES YOU THE OPTION OF EITHER A MALE
OR FEMALE DRIVER IS A GOOD WAY, OR A BETTER WAY OF DEALING WITH
THIS.
DON'T MARKET THE PRODUCT AS A, MEN POSE A THREAT TO YOU,
SO AS A RESULT, WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU THE OPTION OF WOMEN DIE
THINK THAT IS UNFAIR TO MEN.
UBER SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB IN
BACKGROUND CHECKING THEIR DRIVERS.
THAT'S ANOTHER
SOLUTION TO IT.
IT REALLY SETS A BAD DASH OR SENDS A BAD MESSAGE ABOUT
AN ENTIRE GENDER THAT I THINK IS UNFAIR.
THINK ABOUT IF THE ROLES WERE REVERSED.
THINK ABOUT IF MEN CAME OUT AND SAID, WE DON'T LIKE BEING
DRIVEN AROUND BY WOMEN BECAUSE WOMEN ARE NOT GREAT DRIVERS.
OBVIOUSLY THE STATISTICS DO NOT PROVE THAT, BUT LET'S SAY
THEY SAID THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A RIDESHARING
SERVICE WITH A ONLY EMPLOYMENT.
EVERYONE WOULD BE OUTRAGED.
>> OF COURSE.
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE.
I AGREE WITH
YOU IN THE SENSE THAT IT NEEDS SOME REWORKING, BECAUSE BY NO
MEANS DO WE WANT TO PUT OUT THE STATEMENT THAT MEN ARE ALL BAD
OR POSE A THREAT TO WOMEN.
THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE.
DOES IT DASH IS THAT HOW THEY ARE MARKETING AT THE DACKS
>> YEAH DEFINITELY.
YOU HAD THE FOUNDER OF A SAYING MY WIFE FELT
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH A MAN DRIVING, SHE FELT LIKE HE WAS
POSING A THREAT.
>> FOR SOME WOMEN TO FEEL THAT WAY.
>> I UNDERSTAND THAT.
WHICH IS WHY I THINK ADJUSTING
RIDESHARING SERVICES SO YOU CAN CHOOSE A MAN OR WOMAN IS A
BETTER ALTERNATIVE, BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE A BUSINESS THAT SAYS
WE ONLY HIRE MEN OR WE ONLY HIRE WOMEN, IN FACT, THERE WAS A CASE
LIKE THIS BEFORE THAT FACED A SERIOUS DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT
AND THEY WANT.
TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS WOULD HOLD UP IN COURT, BUT IT
DOES POSE SOME ISSUES WHEN IT COMES TO DISCRIMINATION.
>> I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT.
YOU MADE A VALID POINT AS YOU ALWAYS DO.
>> THANK YOU.
>> IS A SEXIST AND DISCRIMINATORY, YES IT IS.
BUT
FOR ME, IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME BECAUSE I HAVE OTHER OPTIONS.
I
CAN USE LIFT UBER AND IF YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH USING
THOSE, THEN YOU CAN USE THIS, BUT I DO LOVE THE OPTION OF
HAVING THESE OTHER RIDESHARING SERVICE CHOOSE A MALE OR FEMALE.
ALMOST LIKE WHEN YOU GO TO GET A MASSAGE.
>> I LOVE THE BROUGHT THAT UP.
>> A PROBLEM WITH THAT EITHER.
>> THAT'S TOTALLY FINE.
GIVING PEOPLE THE OPTION IS OKAY, BUT AGAIN, DON'T
MARKET IT AS ONE GENDER IS JUST INHERENTLY VIOLENT DANGER.
>> I HAD NO IDEA THAT THEY WERE MARKETING IT LIKE THAT.
>> I WILL SAY PERSONALLY THAT I HAVE HAD A LOT OF FEMALE
FRIENDS A CALL ME AND SAY TO STAN THE PHONE WITH ME
BECAUSE THIS DRIVERS CREEPING ME OUT THAT
>> WITHOUT A DOUBT.
THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF CASES WITHIN UBER WHERE WOMEN
HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND RAPE AND MEN 2.
LIKE YOU SAID, UBER HAS NOT DONE A GOOD JOB OF PROPERLY
VETTING THEM AND THEN WHERE THERE ARE COMPLAINTS OR
CHARGES, WHAT DO THEY DO DACKS THEY SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG.
>> LET'S NOT BLAME THESE COMPANIES BECAUSE A LOT OF
PEOPLE CAN FABRICATE A LOT OF INFORMATION.
PEOPLE CAN HIDE A
LOT OF THINGS IN THEIR PAST THAT WOULD COME UP TO BACKGROUND
CHECKS.
I'M SURE THAT THEY ARE DOING THE BEST THAT THEY CAN AND
THERE IS PROBABLY OTHER METHODS THEY CAN USE TO GO EVEN DEEPER,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE BEST OPTION IS GOING TO BE THAT
MEN MALE OR FEMALE CHOICE.
>> I'M GLAD THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE.
I'M FOR IT, WITH SOME REWORKING OF THE MARKETING.
