Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US
(www.dexerto.com)
In the Lyft app it even specifically mentions this feature's availability for non-binary people along with women - which I very much so appreciate
The shame is that this option is needed. Toxic masculinity is so prevalent and infiltrates everything. Boys not raised well. Sad.
Boys not able to be raised well
They're all broken out there, you helping or just doing holier then thou shtuff for fun?
I have a real issue with you adding not able to be raised well. As a father of a boy. Let me tell you it's absolutely the parents. You can raise boys well.
Just to be clear: this is not about protecting people.
This is just another squeeze, wringing the next few drops of accountability out of their sector.
They’re not really employing the drivers, so they’re not responsible for vetting them. And they’re not really selling rides, so they’re not responsible for what happens during one.
So what’s next? “Oh, we told drivers to get interior cameras, we told riders to be careful, we gave them checkboxes!”
Anything at all that they can spin as a value-add to shareholders, rather than allowing for any amount of responsibility towards the well-being of people who interact with their systems.
please tell me there is no penalty to those women taking this option. It would be so easy for Uber to pull a "only $5 more" to get a ride or "5% less" to avoid a rider.
It'll be harder to find rides, your wait time will go up.
Massive demand for robotaxis as they mature and spread.
Ffs can I also?
They have bears driving Ubers now?
Reasonable
We should cut the nation in half down the middle, male side and female side. We'll have gender embassies to coordinate economic matters. Every 10 years we'll all send our most fit and fertile to meet in the gender demilitarized zone for breeding. Better yet, maybe we can establish a reproductive material trade so we never have to see each other.
Or, you know, just not be horrible towards each other 🤷🏻
I like this idea better.
Since you are making fun of this: Do you understand, why a woman would want this option?
Why did this upset you so much?
Found one of the problem ones
