I’m sorry that you had to go through that, and I must emphasize that I do not wish to “let” anyone be exposed to this. However, I remain unconvinced that it’s “more common than I think”. The amount of sexual assault that women are exposed to is unfortunately far, far more common, and a bigger problem that should take precedence in being dealt with.

Don’t take my word for it; look it up. But here, I’ll save you some time by spending my own:

Say out of 140 000 reports of rape in one year, 4% are false. That leaves us with 5600 false accusations. And according to the survey shown by CDC, there’s an estimated 1.4 million women raped in 12 months.

Men have so much less reason to fear compared to women. This is not saying they have nothing to fear, but the measures taken by uber is an attempt to protect those who are MUCH more prone to sexual assault and harassment.

The fear of accusations is not covered in this survey, nevertheless, if men feel fearful of accusations, imagine what women feel when they fear actually being sexually assaulted.

It might be considered sexist, depending on who you ask.

The amount of males being falsely accused of sexual assault is much lower than the amount of females being exposed to sexual assault. Hence why there has been provided a measure for women at this scale, and not for men.

We are breeding idiots.

A lot to unpack here, but the primary reason is that “everyone” survives, is led into adulthood, and encouraged to start a family. From an evolutionary standpoint, we don’t have any sort of filter who gets to live and breed, and no “survival of the fittest”. This is not only about childbirths, but also about who breeds (and raises) children.

Eugenics is not bad in of itself, but people consider it bad because they fear it will be forced upon them by racist/ableist powers. (Remember, a mother (and father) who chooses to abort if there is something bad unveiled through tests are also doing eugenics.)

Not saying we haven’t had this “problem” in the past, nor that we have to do something about it. It’s more a statement that we have a lot of idiots around…
