Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US (www.uber.com)

When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

I used a tone indicator to denote sarcasm, especially about the part I put in bold. You should read my comment as, there is more than one problem with Uber.

Is that a controversial take on Lemmy?

It's a "no shit" comment.
People are tired of these lazy negative takes and are letting you know that you're putting them out there. For my part I end up deleting a fair amount of my posts/comments after I type them these days, noting internally that I am doing little more than whinging for the sake thereof; give it a whirl sometime.

The biggest "no shit" comment was @Wammityblam@lemmy.world's brave "As a man, I'll get flak for this, but Uber's PR piece is good and woke" one. Meanwhile, the reason Uber has these problems remains unaddressed.

But I guess Uber is the Woke Women Loving Hero of the Day, huh.

(You didn't happen to enjoy the No Shit Rainbow Company Good comment, and get soured by people pointing out this'll actually hurt minorities, did you?)
