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.

These fucking comments. Anytime anything is done to make women safer men get up in arms and upset. "What about me?" cries the incel.

I haven't been here for very long, but it's clear where all the incels went.

God forbid we recognize that men perpetuate most violence committed against women. We might hurt men's feelings /s

I'm fine with this if they allow male drivers to avoid women clients.
