You're right that leaving a job can affect other people...but so does staying! By continuing to work there, Uber employees are facilitating a sexist environment, the exploitation of the drivers who (if things go according to plan) will soon be discarded and left with car loans they can't pay back, and a general disregard for the wellbeing of anyone who is not an Uber shareholder or executive.

I agree with you that the Uber situation is far from the civil rights era, but I wanted to pick an example of regular people (almost certainly in a much worse situation than OP) making a sacrifice that impacted their finances and quality of life. Those people had family members depending them too; the difference is they had a cause they cared enough about to make sacrifices. I believe that people should either be willing to make sacrifices for things they care about, or admit that they don't care enough. OP was instead treating the suggestion that people make a sacrifice as a prima facie absurd suggestion, and I find that troubling.
