Female And Non-Binary Uber Drivers Will Now Be Able To Refuse Rides From Male Passengers In Australia

Captain20Cock · 2022-05-12T14:53:21+00:00

And once they turn down half the fares, I bet they'll complain about making less money than male drivers.

Lasttoflinch · 2022-05-12T15:02:14+00:00

Self-inflicted pay gap.

CawlinAlcarz · 2022-05-12T15:24:25+00:00

In before "Uber Tax" paid by male passengers only and used to offset lost income from female Uber drivers refusing to pick up men.

gratis_eekhoorn · 2022-05-12T16:32:23+00:00

I wonder when female doctors will be allowed to refuse to treat male patients, looks like in near future.

Aimless-Nomad · 2022-05-12T14:56:10+00:00

Just when i thought Australia couldn't get any more fucking degenerate. Australian men are having their self respect robbed from them every fucking day.

But they are shooting themselves in the foot by doing this though

2022-05-12T14:56:23+00:00

MRA lawyers, start loading your NERF gun with lawsuit balls.

StripedFalafel · 2022-05-12T15:10:40+00:00

How long until riders can choose as well?

We could end up with Uber-apartheid - seperate cars for men & women. I guess they won't extend it to letting drivers specify which races they'll accept...

EDIT: The corollary here is that men will face longer waits for an Uber than women. Why accept second class service? I've used DiDi & they are fine + much cheaper in peak periods. At least give them (or some other competitor) a try.

63daddy · 2022-05-12T15:46:00+00:00

Funny how the countries that mostly loudly claim to promote gender equality are the same countries we see promoting gender discrimination.

denyjunctionfunction · 2022-05-12T16:14:15+00:00

will enable female and non-binary drivers to only accept rides from women

Non-binary drivers can use it, but non-binary riders can’t “benefit” from it lol

tenchineuro · 2022-05-12T21:32:14+00:00

I think male drivers should also be able to refuse female passengers.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-49197716
Stockport woman Laura Hood jailed for fake taxi rape claim
A woman who falsely accused a taxi driver of raping her showed a "blatant disregard" for him and the reputation of the justice system, a judge said.
Laura Hood, 27, claimed Haroon Yousaf, 29, attacked her in the back of his cab after a night out in January 2017.
But Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard the taxi's tracker device proved she had lied about the attack.
She denied perverting the course of justice but was convicted and jailed for three years.
At sentencing, judge Julie Warburton said: "What you did strikes at the very heart of criminal justice.
"It has a tendency to damage the public perception of justice and can impact on the administration of justice in rape cases generally."

throwawayincelacc · 2022-05-12T15:17:35+00:00

USA, Canada, UK, Australia are becoming little by little countries favoring women. I don’t wanna be too dramatic, but masculinity will indeed be in danger at this rate.

2022-05-12T15:15:02+00:00

This article is pure intellectual diarrhea! « Equal representation », « hustle », « feeling safer », classic feminist bullshit. It is a shame that people like this bitch Foley reach positions of power and responsibilities. No empirical sources, pure discrimination against men, if men were the problem.

SamaelET · 2022-05-12T16:34:54+00:00

Obviously men will not be able to refuse women. We would not want women to be less likely to obtain a ride.

Wonder what they would have called that if it was refusal according to race ?

Never buying from any Uber service again.

wes67stg · 2022-05-12T15:30:44+00:00

Im just going to copy my comment from another post since it's always relevant when talking about Australia:

Quick reminder that an australian women is literally more likely to be struck by lightning than to be murdered.

100 + people hit by lightning

about 61 women killed in any given year

VindictivePrune · 2022-05-12T16:12:29+00:00

Aren't all drivers able to refuse passengers at their own discretion? It is their car rhats on the line after all

Dr_Frasier_Bane · 2022-05-12T23:21:35+00:00

Give me an option to always have a male driver like I prefer anyway and we're golden.

rabel111 · 2022-05-12T16:52:40+00:00

Because all Australian men are rapists?

This sexist pig is really just a mzn hating radfem.

No more Uber.

Hexys · 2022-05-13T00:07:32+00:00

But why, you can just transform into a female or “non-binary” in an instant according to them. Just change the gender setting and boom you good.

Jbr74 · 2022-05-12T15:53:26+00:00

I mean it's actually a win, female drivers scare the $h!t out of me.

Hell ill opt-out of female drivers and save them the hassle.

clown_pants · 2022-05-12T16:21:17+00:00

I was under the impression that the driver saw the profile of the rider before accepting and always had discretion over whether or not they'd accept the fare

kaijyuu2016 · 2022-05-12T18:36:19+00:00

What if I identify as female, how will they prove me wrong?

ZidaneLoire · 2022-05-12T16:48:07+00:00

Aren't all uber drivers able to refuse any ride? I thought that was the point of uber, you're your own boss and you pick whichever rides you want.

What does this change exactly?

rabbit_lady · 2022-05-12T16:28:11+00:00

I think all Uber trainer should (and I presumed could) refuse ride for anyone. Especially if they didn’t feel safe with them, regardless of gender.

JackeTuffTuff · 2022-05-12T17:33:55+00:00

Can’t any uber refuse to drive any passenger?

sammexp · 2022-05-12T23:48:16+00:00

Imagine being able to refuse rides from black people. The same people would be angry and say it is racism

roseffin · 2022-05-13T00:50:46+00:00

I'll just identify as NB. See how two can play this game?

getoffmyjohnson92 · 2022-05-13T02:14:42+00:00

They just keep adding to the gender war

skirted_dork · 2022-05-12T18:03:23+00:00

What if I identify as a women during the ride?

tenchineuro · 2022-05-12T21:19:40+00:00

Female And Non-Binary Uber Drivers Will Now Be Able To Refuse Rides From Male Passengers In Australia

What if they identify as women?

What if the men are non-binary?

Is there some drug one can take to make this stuff make sense?

p3ngwin · 2022-05-12T18:57:10+00:00

However, despite these findings, 83 per cent of women said they needed more flexibility to do this, and 88 per cent expressed there were barriers in the way, preventing them from starting a side job.

The research concluded that 70 per cent of women would like to see more female Uber drivers in the front seat.

Foley also said the new move hopes to establish more of an equal gender representation of those working under the app while encouraging more women and non-binary people to apply as drivers.

Foley said: “The Uber platform should reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, including equitable gender representation among the driver-partner base.

"Women currently represent a small portion of driver-partners, but we hope, by supporting women and non-binary individuals in unlocking more earning opportunities, that this will increase over time.”

I don't understand, at no point does that "study" reveal what was stopping ANYONE from applying to be a driver, so what am i missing here, what "representation" was being held back in ANY way ?

At no point was "safety" mentioned in the study, so how is this new policy "solving" a problem that was never identified ??

GnomeChompy · 2022-05-12T21:52:29+00:00

Step 1: self identify as female/nonbinary

Step 2: sue when they inevitably say you arent allowed to ride

Step 3: profit!

SynovialBee0 · 2022-05-12T23:18:51+00:00

Australia what the fuck just chill already

Shadowdragon409 · 2022-05-13T00:45:09+00:00

This isn't a bad thing in principle. Being able to refuse a passenger if you're uncomfortable with them. The fact that its only for women to be used against men, is sexist as fuck.

KidRetro_95 · 2022-05-13T01:36:19+00:00

Now imagine if male drivers were allowed to refuse rides from female passengers, woman would throw a fit and throw around the sexism card. Then if men bought up this right here they'd throw around the incel card.

Didn't some woman over here already start a female only uber service? Kind of pathetic that these idiots live in such constant fear of men and see them all as evil then bitch and complain that it's mens fault they can't find a partner 🤷‍♂️

FearlessHamster4486 · 2022-05-12T18:07:41+00:00

I think everyone should be able to refuse whoever they want

Mystic_Submissive · 2022-05-12T18:33:20+00:00

When men there who use ubers, start picking and preferring male uber drivers, those women will have no right to call them misogynist and sexist. I can predict the double standard.

And needless to say that this is outrageous.

2022-05-12T17:10:48+00:00

Uber’s becoming available in my area next month. Guess I won’t be using it

StingRayFins · 2022-05-12T21:59:27+00:00

And a few years later, "Uber is sexist because female drivers make 50¢ for every dollar the men makes."

Millions of people will debunk it and reference this instance here.

Feminists all over the world will ignore it and run with the "Uber earning gap" and they'll say it every second they can all over again.

0utbox · 2022-05-13T00:52:13+00:00

Just identify as a woman....

Naru4odo · 2022-05-12T18:29:14+00:00

Do you have the choice to choose the gender you'd like your driver to be with the Uber app?

Fact_Trumps_Feeling · 2022-05-12T21:13:14+00:00

To the back of the bus, all of my fellow cis shit lord penis having people!

Oh wait, we don't even get to be on the bus?

It's finally come full circle.

And they said Slippery Slope is a fallacy.

MrStone1 · 2022-05-12T21:57:44+00:00

I'm sure the male drivers are devastated

ld2gj · 2022-05-13T01:40:13+00:00

Then male drivers should be able to refuse rides from female passengers.

I really hope this is taken to court.

Al_Modir · 2022-05-13T03:51:40+00:00

Australia is a fucking cesspool

buficek7_CZ · 2022-05-13T08:01:50+00:00

What the fuck is happening in Australia?

proteios1 · 2022-05-12T19:50:24+00:00

only white male christians will be forced to comply. all others can discriminate. Sounds very inclusive.

throwawayincelacc · 2022-05-12T16:03:42+00:00

Can't wait until uber flat out bans black men from the service, both as a driver and rider.

Then maybe they'll get some flak for these rules.

EnthusiasmNo6062 · 2022-05-12T17:08:42+00:00

This idea is more than fine. Not really hurting anyone but themselves. It's like only taking orders with big tips on doordash. However the option should be available for male Uber drivers too. Maybe they don't want to pick up men either... Lol

Nerfixion · 2022-05-12T20:11:21+00:00

Eh. I've had 1 maybe 2 female drivers ever this doesn't effect much what so ever

On the plus side your chances of getting to your destination safely just went up!

OctaviaPinfold · 2022-05-12T18:24:51+00:00

And what do they do if their male passengers start saying that they're nonbinary? Or do they define who they can refuse service to as male because what they mean by nonbinary in case of their drivers is female nonbinary and not male nonbinary; so they only want to cater to women's irrational fears, really? Remember, nonbinary is not trans, it's just an adjective both sexes can use if they don't (or don't want to) conform to gender norms. They don't even have to look a certain way.

Jaxedai · 2022-05-12T19:00:20+00:00

When being male is a micro aggression. Jesus the west is getting so weak and pathetic. WTB masculine classical giga Alexander taxi app

Various_Strain5693 · 2022-05-12T20:20:02+00:00

Why tho?? What's the motivation and how do they not see the hypocrisy???

EstablishmentKooky50 · 2022-05-12T20:21:55+00:00

Go woke, go broke is all.

ApplezMan2 · 2022-05-12T20:58:07+00:00

Wtf is even the point of that anyway? They think all of them males will just rape the driver just because they are male?

falonyn · 2022-05-12T22:13:32+00:00

How would they know someone is male? You can't tell just by looking right?

Vanhelsing2020 · 2022-05-13T00:49:27+00:00

🤣🤣🤣, no good deed goes unpunished. Let the ungrateful cunts find another place to work. Beggars can't be choosers. Men need to stand the fuck up in Australia.

What the fuck are they putting in the water down there, probably Ritalin 🤣

ChaosOpen · 2022-05-13T01:23:00+00:00

Saying that is nice, but Australia has a rather fluid definition of women and failing to respect that could find them in jail.

312Michelle · 2022-05-13T01:28:31+00:00

My mother once said years ago that it's a good thing that women are refusing to pick up men and that they're thinking of their safety, especially the ones who have been assaulted by men in the past. And I was like, "You are aware that women assault men too right? And that men are not only the main perpetrators of homicide but also the primary victims of homicide and that men are far more likely to be assaulted by other men than women are likely to be assaulted by men, right?" But she said something stupid about how female on male assault/violence is super rare and women have it worse anyway. She's a bit more intelligent now, but she still say something stupid like that once in a while and when I try to show her data and studies, she think the data and studies are biased and that I'm just being a know-it-all. When she does that, I don't interact with her for a few days and give her time to think about what she said and what I showed her, that's the best way to get someone to change their mind about things. Anybody and everybody can be sexist regardless of their gender and women too are guilty of gender-based discrimination against the opposite sex. Jesus God and the Force help me, this is 2022, people should know better.

regularcomments · 2022-05-13T01:36:14+00:00

Well, less money for them. Any smart woman with the capability of thinking wouldn't care what their clients have between the legs.

WomanMcWomanface · 2022-05-13T01:45:54+00:00

If I could choose my Uber driver I would never choose a woman or a non-binary person anyway. Well, I wouldn't really do this kind of choice because it feels unfair and biased and I would actually feel bad for them so I would actually choose them as often as male drivers, would just pick whichever driver was shown first in the app or whatever regardless of gender but in my heart of hearts I know/think a ride with a male driver will be safer, faster, higher probability of getting to the destination, less chance of getting lost and less awkward/tense so better in every way.

So thanks feminists, once again you save me from acting against my benefit due to a sense of fairness and at the detriment of women.

Female or non-binary drivers who are trying to make a buck driving will never use this option anyway. Only the once a week Uber driving lgbt activist who doesn't really need money but who wants to write about it in her/their blogpost tomorrow will do this and I would choose not to be in their car anyway if I could.

Nathaniel66 · 2022-05-13T03:41:02+00:00

And in the end when they will have less quotation= less drives= less money, they will protest: MEN EARN MORE! Good job.

Oxiton · 2022-05-13T04:14:34+00:00

THIS IS FUKIN INSANE WTF I thought discrimination was bad but it seems it's A-OK when it comes to Men!

ChiefLongWeiner · 2022-05-13T05:21:04+00:00

I don't understand how we can simultaneously segregate and "integrate"so smoothly

raytaylor · 2022-05-13T06:59:25+00:00

I am quite surprised, in New Zealand thats a human rights violation and NZ has generally similar laws as australia.

SirCha0s · 2022-05-13T09:09:31+00:00

Soooo they can't already refuse a ride from.... anyone? Lol

2022-05-13T09:46:44+00:00

Weren't Uber drivers already able to refuse rides from anyone?

Razorbladekandyfan · 2022-05-13T20:28:28+00:00

Not to mention how fucking offensive that is to assign non-binary people together with women.

BowForThanos · 2022-05-13T01:15:16+00:00

This really hurts deep. Makes me feel like a piece of shit just for being a man. Let's remember we need to fight for true equality not against women. It's bullshit companies and their left wing agendas

DirtyPartyMan · 2022-05-12T22:01:52+00:00

And so men can do the same if they feel they may be wrongfully accused of sexual harassment?

This is a stupid Law

RNS_H8 · 2022-05-13T05:50:26+00:00

this is just a lousy attempt at getting more drivers. in reality uber are losing their male drivers due to karens. uber is delusional if they think female drivers are the solution. Karen vs Karen is the most destructive combination possible.

Rucolacola · 2022-05-20T12:12:55+00:00

Blatant and obvious sexism aside, how is uber going to implement them? Since now any1 gender is how they identify as. So if i identify as a female but born male, is the driver a transphobe for refusing to drive me?

icemax666 · 2022-05-13T06:30:46+00:00

Yikes. In America - which used to be a good country - we had protection from this sort of thing. We have a legal provision that states that you can’t discriminate based on sex, race, religion, etc. Now, we technically still have this in place, but I say “had” because who knows anymore, honestly. Either way, Australia has already gone full fascist so this doesn’t really surprise me.

I think it's vice versa. Headline should be ''Female And Non-Binary Uber "Passengers" Will Now Be Able To Refuse Rides From Male "Drivers" In Australia

oafsalot · 2022-05-12T20:03:49+00:00

When couldn't they exactly?

Sewblon · 2022-05-12T21:36:42+00:00

The stated purpose of this is to help women and non-binary people open up more earning opportunities. Is there any reason to think that this will actually help with that? Where are these women and non-binary people who would be making money as uber drivers if they did not have to service male passengers? In fact, this is likely to make the pay gap worse by reducing the potential clients of female uber drivers. Also, is this legal? Do all the countries where Uber operates allow you to discriminate on the basis of sex with your customers and clients as a driver?

vhisic · 2022-05-12T21:41:09+00:00

Thats the way its always supposed to have been, turn down a fair dont get the money from it. I think all drivers should have the right to refuse to drive someone thats how the gig economy is supposed to work.

You want the money, you take the fair, you take the risk associated with that trip. Just dont bitch you dont earn enough when you ignore 50% of your fairs.

If i turn down 50% of my work shifts id be broke too.

2022-05-12T22:30:30+00:00

Uber is garbage. A friend of mine was kicked off of all Uber because some Uber eats delivery chick claimed he was violent. Violent while taking his bag of food apparently. Some San Francisco sjw called him to get his side of the story. He was banned the same day. He was platinum and did about $1000/month with Ubereats. He uses alternatives happily now.

slerpyert · 2022-05-12T22:36:38+00:00

Umm can't any uber driver refuse to let anyone into their car? It's not like anyone is forced into and uber or forced to drive someone (unless their committing a crime)

Scruffynutz91 · 2022-05-12T22:58:58+00:00

Bruh wtf is this lol You folks down under got some weird policies n such

NutsLikeMelons · 2022-05-12T23:16:47+00:00

I wonder what the plan is for when a woman books the ride and has three men also travelling with her. Cancel the ride once you see the other passengers?

TheMorningJoe · 2022-05-13T03:36:34+00:00

That doesn’t sound very equal

Mountainking7 · 2022-05-13T05:03:46+00:00

Hopefully it cuts both ways and makes can refuse females also. It's more likely they will be left stranded at night when females drivers are less likely to work.

PubicFigure · 2022-05-13T05:55:02+00:00

This is great news for male riders... More available cars and fewer surges.

arles2464 · 2022-05-13T06:04:39+00:00

Here's an idea. Allow any driver to refuse service to anyone. I can think no of an infinite amount of reasons a man might also want to refuse service.

SomeonePleaseKillMe1 · 2022-05-13T09:22:25+00:00

"By providing greater peace of mind"

What a load of shit. Pretty sure all this "reverse" discrimination is gonna have a negative effect on the mental health of the men of that country, provided they haven't been indoctrinated yet.

But hey, it'll be entertaining watching these assholes blame this incident on the patriarchy if they ever get called out!

DPRKprincess · 2022-05-13T11:20:20+00:00

How is this even legal? This is total discrimination. Isn't the LGBT movement supposed to be an anti- discrimination community? What about trans men? Or gender fluid people who decide to go by male pronouns on the date they need an Uber? Or does this apply to biological "cisgender" heterosexual males only?

movieguy2004 · 2022-05-13T11:33:33+00:00

I guess if there’s a silver lining it’s that this can’t happen in the U.S. since it’s probably unconstitutional on several grounds.

dotdot44 · 2022-05-13T11:43:24+00:00
