Im going to say this as nicely as possible, comparing this to white only toilets is not cool... its a little racist. Using poc's actual historical oppression like a prop to express your distaste for safe spaces for women and nb people is just not a great vibe.
Ignore them. They don't realize that they are being the problem they are railing against by deciding for all women everywhere what they should be bothered and offended by. I don't think this guy has ever met a woman that wasn't related by blood and probably has never talked to any woman about how they are treated by drivers, random creeps online, random creeps around town, etc
You are right. Comparing this to segregation insults the many many many men and women of all races that fought for fair treatment. It also insults all of the woman and men that have fought for women's rights and liberation.
Really, if I am the problem here, why am I the one not using ad hominem. I have nothing against safety features for woman and I will fight for them. I just want those 10% of sexual abuse victims who are man to feel safe too and stop pretending they don't exists, that's all.
I have no distaste for making safe spaces for woman and non-binary. What I have is distaste for deliberately making safe spaces only for woman and non-binary, where there is no cost making it for everyone.
Lyft could do a switch saying "match my gender", but they went making basically "match anything other than man" just diffrently phrased. And this is sexists and really disgusting.
Many can feel exluded by that, why wouldn't they? Personally I am never going to drive Lyft again, there should be no place for sexism of any kind in 2024 especially when we talk about strict corporate and mass decisions.
