Pink Taxi

There is a group of women Taxi drivers in Mexico who painted their taxis pink and refuses to take on male fares. One might say they are picking fares. This is all because they are trying to get away from uncouth male drivers who have been inappropriately staring at these females. Some even video tape their fares.

 

Pink Taxi

Por favor, I am in a real hurry

I have a bleeding child with me

No senor, she said, we do not pick up men

Keep waving or call the ambulance you can wait another 10

Ten minutes, she obviously didn’t know

Ambulances at full speed, clear roads is still to far to go

Xtreme gender bias is progress in reverse

I think this mujer might as well tell me call for the hearse
