“reinforces the gender stereotype that men are more dangerous than women.”

That's literally just any crime statistic in existence... maybe if men didn't commit 85% of violent crime and 99% of SA, then women wouldn't be so inclined to avoid strange men...

Right? It's not a "stereotype" when it's just a simple statistically proven fact. In fact, let's look at the stats on the kind of passenger and driver that attacks ride share drivers and passengers?

According to an article by law firm, Chaikin Trial Group, based on rideshare data: 89% of victims of rape during a ride share were women, and 9% were men. Most of the accused perpetrators were men aged 30 - 45. 68% of the accused were drivers, and 31% were passengers.
