The lawsuits allege that male drivers receive fewer rides because of the feature, violating sex discrimination laws.

    arnt some men peferentially choosing female passengers, because they are kinda pervy. it make sense woman wants to feel safe instead of having a potential creep of a male driver.

    Just add a men-only option. Problem solved.

      That only solves the problem if there is an equal demand for both. Assuming there isn’t, the male drivers still have a claim for lost income as a result of their gender.

        Nope, because it’s the male drivers fault the demand is different.

        It solves Uber’s problem, in that Uber set up a feature to favor one sex.
        Men drivers can’t blame the public if theirs isn’t as much demand for their services.

      And who would use it?

      Like 1/100th of the number who use the women-only option?

      But that would make sense, and that is not what virtue signalling is about.

      Fuck it, just add a character creator to the Uber app, and it’ll only match you with drivers that look like your custom character.

      It makes perfect sense if you replace “safe zones” with “cooking, cleaning, child rearing”…
