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.
Most of the comments here seem to be talking about the politics of the gender roles, but no one really seems to be mentioning that Uber should only be used as a very last resort. Call a Taxi, a friend, take public transit. Do not support the VC startup trash that doesn’t pay their
employees“contractors” living wage.i see more complaints about misogyny in the comments here than actual misogyny. Which is good, I’m just wondering what I missed
Very fair nowadays, you should never trust anyone, and our society should be based on anti-trust. Humans lost their trust license, and only some sort of genetic engineering project on a massive scale would be able to fix that.
I perfectly understand why women are intimidated by men, some strong, potentially entitled guy can do god knows what to you if he chooses violence.
Why leave it to chance?
Driving for one of these companies is a hard wash anyways. I’m glad women can get out safe though. Personally I don’t care who picks me up, I can small talk with anyone and not be threatening. I have 4 daughters and a wife. I don’t need more women drama.
W
give men the option to ride with men as well, and nobody will have an issue with this
These fucking comments. Anytime anything is done to make women safer men get up in arms and upset. “What about me?” cries the incel.
Good
preference, let me drive.
I get it, but it’s sad that society have come to this.
I get it, but it’s discrimination and someone is going to sue them for it.
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.
We should have fewer male babies.
