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 don't necessarily even disagree with this feature but I can't help but imagine the outrage if that was almost literally any other group of people.

I want to ride exclusively with bilingual Mongolian ginger Zoroastrian jazz enthusiasts over 5'10" to feel safe and demand a feature for me to do so.

Great! We just happen to have a driver matching your requirements. Unfortunately, demand for bilingual Mongolian ginger Zoroastrian jazz enthusiasts over 5’10" is off the charts! Fares have increased to get more bilingual Mongolian ginger Zoroastrian jazz enthusiasts over 5’10" Ubers on the road: 9001.0x the normal fare

You mistype and end up with a methhead.
