Not sexist, but sure discriminatory, but not in a bad way.

Discrimination is always bad when it based on something you are born with
However, you could argue that it is worth it

Which is what I was arguing essentially. Its not bad in this circumstance. In fact its good, for the safety of some of the Uber clientele. Its in no way mandatory, but its an option for some people, who for whatever reason dont feel comfortable with a male driver, as unfortunately men are far more likely to harm women. This in no way belittles violence against men.

Yeah I hard disagree about this being good. You can’t just discriminate against someone on the very low chance they will do something wrong. There needs to be a non discriminatory way of doing this.

Who is it discriminating against?
T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Its discriminating who is allowed to drive certain customers around, if they so choose, because men are statistically more violent towards women. No matter how you want to paint it, that is the case. If youre so gung ho about women not wanting to feel safe, that’s entirely on you.

Based on what?
