Good point, asking about trees is just evidence of media bias. They should ask what kind of gun would you be.

They would not like the tree question. It’s too environmenty.

I apparently know more about politics than you do.

Yet it is, and you’re not complaining about that, just when women do it.

Something about women ALWAYS walking away with all of the man’s money after a divorce, men paying huge alimonies to lazy women who won’t work, blah blah. Their ideas of what happens in the world are so far removed from the actual reality.

You’re comparing apples to oranges. The cultural context for gender from about the time we as humans started subsistence farming has had men at a distinct advantage over women. That’s thousands of years of oppression. Because of that context, which can never be erased, a woman joking about how men should shut up will…

That is because women are not the problem here, men are. We need to stop encumbering women’s progress by speaking for them. Men speaking for women is an ages-old tradition. Just a few decades ago it was considering acceptable and chivalrous for men to order for women at restaurants. Things are finally changing and we…

I agree completely. We need to really hone in on one key concept: deference.

“No male politician would ever tell women as a group to shut up because he didn’t care about their opinion and if he did, he’d lose his job, not get applause.”

I’m’a go ahead and say the nigh-150 years of male-only suffrage in this country pretty much trumps any “dudes, shut up already” joke spiel by one woman senator. You’re free to disagree and be wrong, of course.

I think this is because a lot of people erroneously think they are the good guy/nice guy etc. when in reality....they’re not.

I disagree, If my uber driver did nothing wrong driving wise but forced me to listen to yodeling...1 star for sure.

That’s ludicrous...you’re rating the experience. If he spit in your purse, you wouldn’t say, oh but his driving was great so I’ll give him all the stars.

I’m okay with anyone using the term as long as they’re generally self-aware and open to occasional critique.

I appreciate a negative rating for a driver that has creepy views on women. It might keep some women from being alone in the car with him while they’re going home from the bar.

I rate my drivers on how well they shut the fuck up and mind their business, among other things. It’s all part of the transport experience.

Is there something wrong with you? I mean, literally?

So if my Uber driver sexually harassed me but was an incredible driver, I should what? give him five stars? Good plan, bro.

Rating the experience actually. Which it was clearly a shit experience so 1 star.

Keeping your dumbass opinions to yourself is part of providing personal services like driving to others.
