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.

This is a good thing if you ask most women

    And if you ask any male uber driver they just lost potentially 50% of their clientele just because they are born with a penis and other penis people are shitty sometimes

    I don't think this will meaningfully hurt male drivers. Most women likely won't use this option, or they will in scenarios like being drunk and alone only (so very situational). People are pretending like 50% of the population just chose to self segregate at all times for no reason.

    People are evil, and I am for any isolation, and yes, segregation, as it is simply for the best when dealing with humans. I don't think you need better proof than the Epstein Files, Panama papers, and what a whole ass world of supposedly mostly good people are complacent in.

    As a man, I want to EXCLUDE all women as potential clients. This is acceptable to articulate given the context, no?

    this place never fails with its reddit-isms and lack of nuance. If you want data, look at SA data and see the demographics of the victims vs the demographics of the perpetrators. This is a tool to give peace of mind and potentially lower SA on ubers.
