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.

[–] randomname@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

give men the option to ride with men as well, and nobody will have an issue with this

I get it, but it's sad that society have come to this.

Alhamdulillah, the women are imposing Sharia upon themselves.

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.

Here we go, with a whole bunch more trans controversy.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

Yep, basically where I was going with this.

I'd say "don't give Republicans any ideas" but they're not reading Lemmy comments so you're good

I get it, but it’s discrimination and someone is going to sue them for it.

They should call it Niqab Level Service and charge double.
