Just had an argument about SA being common in ride sharing with some female co workers that don't want to take one because if the chances. So I did the math. There are about 6000 SA cases for rideshares yearly. 500 of which are unwanted penetration. "That's a LOT!" they said. Uber did 11.6 BILLION rides last year. So no. It's not a lot. It's about .00005% chance of SA in a ride share. Don't drink and drive. I don't have to be a smart science bitch to tell you the chances of you getting in an accident and hurting or killing yourself OR SOMEONE ELSE, are far higher when you've had one beer than being SA'd on a ride share.

If it was someone you love like your mom or sister or partner it is doubtful you’d be so cavalier about it.

My sister talked the same way about

% chance of engaging cancer or other life threatening diseases UNTIL I asked “What if it was you?”

Life as a human is more valuable than statistics or “trained” professionals can offer.

I don't live my life in fear in what may happen. I love my life in fear of realistic statistics. I don't just stay at home every day because that's what's most safe. The chances are, it won't be you. That's how you should live your life.
