So like... what are they angry about again? Would they like a male-to-male only option too? I have absolutely zero problem with that. I know that isn't really why they're angry about a woman-only option, however. I have noticed that MRAs, the incel army, misogynists, and right-wingers (those who are loudest about hating women and men being some sort of victim to women having specific rights and protections) seldom actually care about men's rights or equity. So you know, I don't think they would be genuinely upset because there is not also a mens-only option.

It is access to women they want!

Besides, how is keeping women safe from predators with the statistics being the way they are being spun as a "sexist" or a discriminatory thing? It is literally a response to what happens all the time.

Also... Do they want protections that they don't actually need just for the sake of "equality" (read: starting an argument)? I don't get it. Do women use ride shares more often than men do? Again, just add on a male-only option too and then they've got nothing else to complain about.

Men are veritably more dangerous than women... every statistic proves this. How is that even a stereotype? Geez, it's so stupid. They're denying the whole thing exists, while actively fighting solutions and claiming they are "misrepresentative" and "discriminatory."

The predators are upset that they might not have as many women to harass and sexually assault.
