Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US (www.uber.com)

When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

Now wheres my option to avoid women drivers on the road? /jk

Honestly is this sexist discrimination in order to further secure corperate markey dominance? Yeah, completly. Do i get what need is being met by it as an option? Also yes.

Of the issues with Uber this isnt one of then is all i am saying.

I honestly don't see why this should not be an option. I don't get why people get upset if a man wants the same option to avoid women drivers. Maybe they don't want someone who will feel uncomfortable with them?
