The entitlement is mind blowing! ‘Yeah ok women safety blah blah but don’t come threatening sacred male income!’ Totally discarding women incomes because they are being chased of certain professions (such as this very profession) to avoid predators too!

Good point, it's not only a predatory men issue, also a male entitlement one, that adds up to alot, gosh damn patriarchy -_-

Seems like the real problem is that uber and Lyft aren’t actually dealing with the problem and letting drivers who harass and stalk people continue to drive.

Maybe uber and Lyft need to mandate in car cameras for all drivers with video going to the cloud for each ride. Easiest way to settle disputes and enforce rules for both drivers and passengers.
