Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

I don’t necessarily even disagree with this feature but I can’t help but imagine the outrage if that was almost literally any other group of people.
I can’t help but I imagine JK Rowling tweeting some day about how she used this feature and was appalled to be driven by a trans-woman.
A lot of white people are afraid of black people. Should we let people choose their driver by the color of their skin? Their ethnicity? The language they speak? Their sexual orientation? Their religion?
Discrimination is bad for everyone else, but somehow for men we just say “eh they have it coming”.
Rowling will use any excuse to be transphobic though
Transphobes will use any excuse to be transphobic.
I’m not sure what your point here is.
I am agreeing with you lol
What other group of… Oh.
I can’t help but imagine the outrage
Literally only you can prevent that
Did you stop reading as soon as you hit the word outrage?
If you know any women in your life, which I assume by your comment you don’t or they don’t talk to you anymore, ask them when the last time they were sexually harassed.
The fact it might have literally been yesterday shouldn’t be shocking to you.
? I think this is a good thing lol. I am happy women are being protected.
I think the discussion misses a key point. Uber avoids any responsibility for its drivers. A normal cab company would hire people for whom they know their real identity. If one of them crosses any lines, they get fired and and getting a new job isn’t as easy as making a new account.

I want to ride exclusively with bilingual Mongolian ginger Zoroastrian jazz enthusiasts over 5´10" to feel safe and demand a feature for me to do so.

And I’m losing business simply because I don’t care for jazz

Great! We just happen to have a driver matching your requirements. Unfortunately, demand for bilingual Mongolian ginger Zoroastrian jazz enthusiasts over 5’10" is off the charts! Fares have increased to get more bilingual Mongolian ginger Zoroastrian jazz enthusiasts over 5’10" Ubers on the road: 9001.0x the normal fare
