How is it they say: "When you're used to priviledges, equality feels like oppression". I'm wondering on what metric is based the assumption that stranded women are more at risk than men.

Lovely, this should be proof that feminism isn't about equality, it's about special treatment and being a victim. Of course it will be ignored, or outright denied as prioritising women is true equality in their opinions

In the UK it is illegal under the Equality Act of 2010 to discriminate against anyone on the grounds of their sex. So the AA have to tread a very fine line between satisfying the Twitter mob, and abiding by the law.

This is what the AA said:

'Replying to her letter, Mr King, said "the safety of women, and all vulnerable customers, is 100% at the top" of its priorities.'
'He said the AA had "reminded staff" of its "vulnerable customer processes and procedures", and said if there was a breakdown involving a lone woman, "where there is any concern raised by the customer, they receive the highest level of care and priority."'

Now that looks like a statement written by a lawyer, as it does not specifically say, that they will come to a female customer faster than a male one just because of their sex. Rather his statement treads very carefully, namely:

"...the safety of women, and all vulnerable customers, is 100% at the top" of its priorities".

So what exactly does "...top of its priorities" mean? And anyone, including a male, could claim to be "vulnerable".

"...where there is any concern raised by the customer, they receive the highest level of care and priority."

So any customer can "...raise concern".

I think that one would have a hard time using that statement in a court of law to show they were discriminating against men in practice.

so the real question i think is, do we now pay less as we don’t get the same service?

i’ve had this argument at gyms with “women only” gym areas.. we pay the same and get less.

Being a man who has been attacked before (jumped by chavs at night), why is my safety not a concern? Why do Twitter feminists keep peddling the same old bullshit about women being these hapless victims who need urgent care at all times? Do men not feel fear when stranded in a dodgy neighbourhood?

Can't wait to hear about a man being mugged and\or killed because he wasn't quite as important as the woman stuck in the suburbs.

This is easily solved. Call the company, tell them you identify as a woman and you are in a vulnerable situation. If the company does not prioritize you, sue them for discrimination.

Equality achieved!

Fucking dumb clown world policies call for fucking dumb tactics.

institutional discrimination - part of the definition of an apartheid system

"Men were more likely to be victims of violent crime where the perpetrator was a stranger or acquaintance. However, women were more likely to be victims of domestic violence perpetrated by a partner or ex-partner, or other family member."

gov.uk

if anything we should be prioritising mens safety alone at night.

So are they only going to send women out to service the women drivers or are male tow truck drivers the only men who can't rape a woman? Why would a "vulnerable" woman want man to come anyway?

I’m not from the UK and don’t know what sort of company AA are, but if you’re a man in the UK, you can take a stand and vote with your wallet? If most men start (actually) canceling their membership that would send a clear message.

Maybe if I do move up to the UK and sign up with AA then I'd ask for a reduced fee because I will know beforehand that I will never get the same level of service because I am a male.

Fucking clowns. It's amazing how wymyn constantly cry about having "no power", and yet constantly get companies bent with simple Tweets.
