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'm fine with this if they allow male drivers to avoid women clients.
give men the option to ride with men as well, and nobody will have an issue with this
Yes. Won't somebody think of the men... 🙄
Fair.
Alhamdulillah, the women are imposing Sharia upon themselves.
I get it, but it's sad that society have come to this.
Lyft been doing this since last year too. In Chicago our group of 5 was told to have our two men seated in the back row because the driver wasn't comfortable with men. We were confused but the driver knew the ride was requested by a woman in our group and therefore assumed the whole group for the Lyft XL would be women I guess?
So does this mean there is going to gender verification to go along with age verification?
Seems like something that would happen in this timeline.
I'd say "don't give Republicans any ideas" but they're not reading Lemmy comments so you're good
Here we go, with a whole bunch more trans controversy.

I get it, but it’s discrimination and someone is going to sue them for it.
ugh.. americans and their endless lawuits
It's true, but we're such assholes that we need lawsuits to keep us from devolving into apes.
At least someone seems to care
It makes sense for women but it is a thin line to cross. It does border on discrimination and women drivers are not automatically safer. It does reinforce negative stereotypes about gender norms and we really need to talk about that. Though at the end of the day, a woman's safety and peace of mind is very important. So guess there's not much they can do but they really should make a statement about this.
It's not stereotypes if statistically, most people who are SAd are women and most of the perpetrators are men. This isn't just "peace of mind."
Ask a woman who is drunk after the club late at night if she would prefer a male or female driver when she's alone in an uber/cab and 99% will say yes.
But people will say like "oh but statistically some race commits more crime, is racism ok?" it's not the same because patriarchy is global and is found in most cultures, sadly. So a woman wouldnt exactly be much safer with a white man vs a black man.
They should call it Niqab Level Service and charge double.
