Pink taxi service for women in the UK

This is for female passengers who’ve had bad experiences with men, and would prefer a female driver.

It’s interesting though- why is female to female the only combination? A man may prefer a male driver if he’s had bad experiences with women; he may prefer a female driver if he’s had bad experiences with other men. And a woman might prefer a male driver if she’s had bad experiences with other men.

Personally for me, i couldn’t care less whether I have a man or woman driving my taxi, but stuff like this really takes the michael, and just feeds into the culture of viewing men as inherently distrustful.

You could argue “we don’t know whether a man is safe or not automatically”, but we also don’t know if a fellow woman is safe or not automatically either…. lots of people seem to miss that.
