the situations you've described and the fact that our answer as a society is seemingly to throw up our hands at our inability to solve these situations other than by increasing the number of cars on the road in a way that funnels even more wealth to a tiny group of unfathomably wealthy sociopaths who also use ourour personal information to impact our spending habits... very depressing. i really hate it here.

Erm, what would you propose as an alternative answer?

Presumably women are giving those creepy drivers bad ratings, and yet they are still on the road. So, that's clearly not working.

Sure, the US should fix their transit system, but that doesn't help women now.

So, the default answer becomes, "Get your own car, plebe." And that's super expensive and requires you to drive.

Or, a woman can take a Waymo.

I'm right there with you about hating the megajillionaires, but I'm open to hearing your alternative suggestions.

		I like humor, however, for the peanut gallery who might not get sarcasm: Every credible scientific study of women and guns in the last two decades strongly indicates that a firearm in a woman’s home is far more likely to be used against her or her family than to defend against an outside attacker. More women carrying guns makes them more likely to get shot, and, mostly, not by strangers.
