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.

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.
