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

This is a good thing if you ask most women
this argument can be applied to other situations.
Uber for whites only: “This is a good thing if you ask most white racists”
The gas chambers: “This is a good thing if you ask most Nazis”
Just to be clear, I disagree with both the above situations, I just think it’s not a great argument.
Just to be clear 2: I also sympathise with women who feel uncomfortable being driven by a man.
However, it is discrimination, by definition.
No this is totally about race.
Very few Uber drivers are caucasian.
As a man, I want to EXCLUDE all women as potential clients. This is acceptable to articulate given the context, no?
Sure. My understanding is that as a driver you can reject certain clients. You don’t like the part of town, or their name or the location they want to be taken to. This right already exists.
this place never fails with its reddit-isms and lack of nuance. If you want data, look at SA data and see the demographics of the victims vs the demographics of the perpetrators. This is a tool to give peace of mind and potentially lower SA on ubers.
People are evil, and I am for any isolation, and yes, segregation, as it is simply for the best when dealing with humans. I don’t think you need better proof than the Epstein Files, Panama papers, and what a whole ass world of supposedly mostly good people are complacent in.

And if you ask any male uber driver they just lost potentially 50% of their clientele just because they are born with a penis and other penis people are shitty sometimes

New “not all men” just dropped

I don’t think this will meaningfully hurt male drivers. Most women likely won’t use this option, or they will in scenarios like being drunk and alone only (so very situational). People are pretending like 50% of the population just chose to self segregate at all times for no reason.

Maybe they should take that issue up with the other penis having men who rape and sexually harass/assault women for funsies.
