TheAA no longer prioritising lone women for recovery

A woman tweeted this “ hi @TheAA_UK I am a lone woman whose car has broken down at night in the dark. Your call handler has told me you treat lone women and lone men as exactly the same priority in such circumstances because “that’s equality”

TheAA reply: “Hi Helen, you've been advised correctly. We don't prioritise based on gender, we do consider the location so as an example we would prioritise someone on a motorway over someone in a supermarket carpark”

Surely lone women are always at higher risk than lone men? And that’s before the egregious use of gender when they mean sex…

Ffs! I’m so very very tired of the amount of stupid in this country

Because all we little women do is a run out to the supermarket. Unlike our intrepid male counterparts circumnavigating the M25

I'm stunned by this, I mean I probably shouldn't be, but given that women can't even go out for a run in broad daylight anymore I really feel that lone women should be prioritised.
If I were still with the AA I'd be cancelling right now, but I haven't used them in decades.
