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.

Honestly, I don't care about gender. Can you keep them off the phone and silent (goes both ways, I will do the same)?

Makes me wonder if the next option will be language.

Male drivers dominate the app. Don't exactly know what this achieves other than being performative

It’s things like this that make me, as a man, to prefer male servers/drivers.

If women chose other women, that’s fine but I do feel bad about the men getting less work, so I think it’s only fair to balance the demand gap by allowing men to chose male servers/drivers.

That behaviour would probably have the opposite effect that the people who created this rule would want.
