RAINN is quite possibly the worst source for reliable info on the topic.

Doesn't mean rape isn't a problem, just that u/uber2016 couldn't find his ass in the dark without a map and a flashlight.

It's a problem in the sense that any crime is a problem that can be reduced, but when you need to promote fake stats to get support I'm immediately skeptical of the cause. Besides there isn't a rape epidemic, and the only rape culture in the US is the lax views towards statutory rape committed by women and prison rape.

Why? Because they are a huge advocacy and awareness group for woman?

for woman?
I are wo-man, hear me roar!
There's your problem right there. Just to start, until they were heavily petitioned by MRAs they didn't support including "made to penetrate" under rape. Seriously, a rape support network that erases rape, not cool. They've also routinely published misleading and false statistics. Even in your own link they repeat the literally unknowable 68% of rape is never reported and 98% of rapists walk free claims, which are stats pulled from a survey which used leading questions and lumped several non-rape activities in with rape to get the "right" results.
Luckily unlike many other organizations, they are open to criticism.

Uber fucked up. That guy should never have been driving.
Expect another deduction to come from our next checks under "Uber lawsuit settlement"

I really think one of the reasons they are raising the SRF fee everywhere is to create a warchest for the increasing number of driver lawsuits.

That and for purchasing a fleet of self driving Teslas.
Uber seems a bit more lenient on selecting drivers compared to Lyft. They are taking the expand fast and get a strong foothold approach. Lyft seems more slow and steady.
I did my mentor ridealong yesterday for Lyft. It definitely left a better impression about the company. I have yet to interact with an actual person from Uber.

I've had friends of PAX come up to the car to make sure I wasn't creepy. When they're satisfied that I'm only interested in driving, they get in (having a wedding ring helps).
I usually give them my Uber referral card which has my Google Voice # on it. Now I have several girls who call me and have me drive to their location before requesting an Uber.
We can't stop bad people from giving us a bad name. But we can be gentlemen to our female PAX and build ourselves repeat clientele.

Scum. Rot in hell.
