      They’d need a toggle for the feature on the rider side as well. Like “hide my gender”

        There are plenty of sexually aggressive riders too. It’s not one sided. We can summarize it thus: people suck.

          Perhaps this whole “random people using their regular car to give rides to total strangers” thing was a bad idea…

          What if instead the rides were given in specially modified cars that can include some security features for both parties? And in order to pay for this, perhaps there could be some kind of central company that owned the cars and simply hired the drivers?

            That’s just crazy talk. Next you’ll tell us there should be really big municipally-run cars that a whole bunch of people can ride at once which makes multiple stops. Insanity!

          riders were the accused party 43% of the time in sexual assault incident reports

      I’d assume if you get legal action thrown at you though, it’d be a lot harder to deny if you also were picking a gender to get specific drivers.

          I’m pretty sure the nefarious purpose one isn’t actually dealt with by this and is an extreme outlier

      Explain how sorting the list of available passengers by gender is discrimination? It’s being rolled out in huge metropolitan markets so there will be enough drivers for everyone to get one.

        @flumph if they allowed sorting the list by race, instead of by gender… would you understand how it’s discrimination, then?

          The protected category doesn’t matter, I don’t see how anyone is getting a leg up or being held back by the feature.

            @flumph so, if there was a button that allowed drivers to prioritize white passengers, but there wasn’t one to prioritize black passengers, that wouldn’t be discriminatory to you?

          The option allows customers to prioritize drivers…

          Nope, it doesn’t. The feature is for drivers, not passengers.
