Most of the comments here seem to be talking about the politics of the gender roles, but no one really seems to be mentioning that Uber should only be used as a very last resort. Call a Taxi, a friend, take public transit. Do not support the VC startup trash that doesn’t pay their employees “contractors” living wage.

I wonder what happens when the guy identifies as a woman.

Totally fine with this, they actually should get rid of ability to share a ride.

i see more complaints about misogyny in the comments here than actual misogyny. Which is good, I’m just wondering what I missed

Driving for one of these companies is a hard wash anyways. I’m glad women can get out safe though. Personally I don’t care who picks me up, I can small talk with anyone and not be threatening. I have 4 daughters and a wife. I don’t need more women drama.

give men the option to ride with men as well, and nobody will have an issue with this

These fucking comments. Anytime anything is done to make women safer men get up in arms and upset. “What about me?” cries the incel.

Good

preference, let me drive.

I get it, but it’s sad that society have come to this.

Very fair nowadays, you should never trust anyone, and our society should be based on anti-trust. Humans lost their trust license, and only some sort of genetic engineering project on a massive scale would be able to fix that.

I perfectly understand why women are intimidated by men, some strong, potentially entitled guy can do god knows what to you if he chooses violence.

Why leave it to chance?

I get it, but it’s discrimination and someone is going to sue them for it.

So does this mean there is going to gender verification to go along with age verification?

Seems like something that would happen in this timeline.

Alhamdulillah, the women are imposing Sharia upon themselves.
