Chariot for Women. Started by a man. pH balanced for a woman.

Read the 'Our Story' page. It's incoherent and sounds like a scam. 'He came up with the ENTIRE business plan in literally 10 minutes'.

To those predicting smugly that this business will fail—know that, while you are probably right, that is also likely not the true purpose behind this venture at all.

I would wager this guy is actually smarter than we're giving him credit for. After all, you have to be pretty dense to think something like this would truly work. No, I suspect he's doing this for the media coverage and to get is name out there and associated with something positive in the public eye. When it fails, he can then enjoy being approached by sympathetic organizations who will give him more work, as they recognize a person who at the very least knows how to spot a PR opportunity when he sees one. This is a marketing move, and I suspect he's trying to get into marketing, not private cab management.

It's sort of like Anita Sarkeesian masquerading as a concerned gamer. She was no gamer and doesn't really give a shit about the state of video games—but that's irrelevant, because changing how women are depicted in video games was never her real goal. Her goal was to become a successful feminist icon, and at that she has been wildly successful.

Feminists like Emma Watson—even though I personally can't stand the bullshit that spews from her lips these days—are more sincere in their desire to help women than these people. I don't doubt that Emma believes what she's saying. Even though I think a lot of it is patently absurd and the product of her own biases, I believe she believes it. Sarkeesian, on the other hand, strikes me very strongly as someone who simply likes the idea of being a feminist hero, and is more interested in her own fame than actually helping her sisters. It's too early to know for sure, but I'm already getting a bad vibe about this Pelletz guy. His story about what inspired him to start the company is a tired cliché, and it really doesn't take an MBA to recognize a business venture this bad. As a financial move, this is stupid; but as a PR stunt to launch a new career? Fucking brilliant.

Why is it smug to think he will fail?

I don't blame the guy for trying. I actually have no problem with the idea of the service itself. It's sexist, but I'm not losing sleep over it. Also, there are quite a few sexual assault stories from Uber drivers that make it into the paper, but I have no idea whether the numbers are sensationalized or it is truly a problem.

What bothers me about this guy is his pandering. Things just don't add up and contradict themselves in the story. He claims to have worked 17 hours a day, but he only had about 850 (if I remember correctly) fares in a year? That's under 3 fares a day. What the fuck is he doing for the rest of the 16 hours a day?

I don't think the concept will attract much useful PR. From a business perspective, the concept is shit. What knowledgeable investor wants to cut their potential rider market in half? And what about a man who wants to call himself a woman? Is he going to discriminate against this person? Does it have to be the gender on the birth certificate?

I think the publicity for this company will be bad. Especially when his past scams come to light.

I only used the word "smug" to highlight the fact that people seem to be enjoying their predictions of failure, when I see a more worrying potential here.

So a woman calls for a ride, but when the rider shows up, she has a guy with her.. and the driver refuses them service because there is a man present.

When taken to court, and asked why they didn't receive the ride... "because one of the customers is male." Case closed - 15 million dollars.

Kind of what I thought. How is this "business" not a direct violation of the 14th Amendment?

This is going to flop faster than Crystal Pepsi...

Chariot for women, otherwise known as C.O.W

A great way to literally bankrupt yourself as fast as possible.
