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
New “not all men” just dropped
this argument can be applied to other situations.
Uber for whites only: “This is a good thing if you ask most white racists”
The gas chambers: “This is a good thing if you ask most Nazis”
Just to be clear, I disagree with both the above situations, I just think it’s not a great argument.
Just to be clear 2: I also sympathise with women who feel uncomfortable being driven by a man.
However, it is discrimination, by definition.
As a man, I want to EXCLUDE all women as potential clients. This is acceptable to articulate given the context, no?
