Will the same app allow users to filter out women drivers?

Funny because most the videos I see of uber drivers getting attacked, the attacker is always a drunk women, bitter, racist women attacking a male or immigrant driver.

The left has the same blindness to every 'intersectionality':

More men in prison: well, d'uh, men commit more crime

More black men in prison: racism

Remember my feminists aunt talking about using women+ connect ( a service to guarantee female or non binary drivers) on Lyft, I made a joke that I use white+ connect. She was pissed at me but know she didn't really have a argument to why it's different

I'm not sure if it was a good decision. UBER has a p/e ratio of 15, which is about the SP 500's average pe ratio through the years (SP500 pe is a bit high). Plus, it might actually increase sales.

From an MRA perspective, sure

From a finance perspective, I don't think that was the best decision you could have ever made.

In the end, Warren Buffet sold a lot of his stocks so that might be something.

Honestly I think this is fine, IF they allow for ALL filters. i.e. if you can filter for men or women, black or white or hispanic, etc.

Because Freedom of Association.

Let market forces decide. Because news flash: if you exclude men from your uber drive, you're gonna have a MUCH longer wait for the drive. Let people ride with whomever they choose. They can pay for their prejudices, or not.

Are you saying women Uber drivers will be able to only accept female passengers?

Will they allow you to filter women out?

It's always the same twisted math.

"Most assaults are commit by men so therefore it's an epidemic of violence against women and women need special consideration."

"Over 75% of victims are women"

These are very convenient statistics if you wanna wage gender war. However, if you want to gauge actual risk then you need to look at the number of actual assaults, not the proportion of perpetrators or victims.

According to published safety data, the likelihood of a rider being sexually assaulted on a rideshare trip is approximately 0.00013%. Roughly 1 in 770,000 trips. At that rate, even if every single victim were a woman assaulted by a male driver, a woman would statistically need to take 770 trips a day for 10 years to experience one assault. In fact, a person is 10 to 50 times more likely to die from an accidental fall than be assaulted in a rideshare vehicle.

Any assault is unacceptable. But creating features, policies, or public messaging around such an infinitesimal risk is marketing and not about safety. Specifically, it's fear-based marketing that plays into gendered and racially charged stereotypes, given that the vast majority of rideshare drivers are men of color. The effect is not just to reassure customers, but to exploit cultural anxieties about male - and often non-white - bodies as inherently threatening.

( How about we have a conversation about the danger drivers face every single night when the bars and clubs let out. That risk is non-zero when approximated at least. )

Being racist probably isn’t the best way to make your point, jackass

FrostingPlenty4801 · 2025-07-24T02:39:39+00:00

Why would I as a woman not want to be alone with a random man I don’t know who could take me somewhere no one can hear me scream and could 🍇 and murder me? My chances of survival are important I guess, but your ego and feelings are way more important so I’m gonna get into a car with a man idk to protect his feelings. Wish me luck.

Define sexist. If your definition is simply: any discrimation base on genders, there are many form of widely accepted sexist behaviour, like gender-based bathroom, genderbased scholarship, military conscription, insurance pricing, ... etc
