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.

Will women drivers be high in demand since the majority of drivers are men?
Male drivers probably want that too. Especially the drunk women.
Men being triggered by this is so cringe. Ew.
The sad reality is that women have to worry about being attacked… Not all men are creepy but men need to also hold the shitty men accountable too. The “would you rather be in the woods with a bear or a random man” question broke the internet because it was a strong argument and made a lot of men think about who even they feel comfortable with if alone in the woods… Most men said the bear, too… Idk many men who are deathly afraid of women and this isnt me saying that men havent been raped, abused, attacked. No human should have to experience ANY intimate violence. The risks are just less statistically. Its not weird to try and mitigate violence on any app…
As a man, I also want to ride with a woman driver, for my safety.
Most of the comments here seem to be talking about the politics of the gender roles, but no one really seems to be mentioning that Uber should only be used as a very last resort. Call a Taxi, a friend, take public transit. Do not support the VC startup trash that doesn’t pay their
employees“contractors” living wage.Supply and demand. If that’s what they want, fine. But that might limit ride availability.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i see more complaints about misogyny in the comments here than actual misogyny. Which is good, I’m just wondering what I missed
Totally fine with this, they actually should get rid of ability to share a ride.
Driving for one of these companies is a hard wash anyways. I’m glad women can get out safe though. Personally I don’t care who picks me up, I can small talk with anyone and not be threatening. I have 4 daughters and a wife. I don’t need more women drama.
give men the option to ride with men as well, and nobody will have an issue with this
I wonder what happens when the guy identifies as a woman.
These fucking comments. Anytime anything is done to make women safer men get up in arms and upset. “What about me?” cries the incel.

Good
I get it, but it’s sad that society have come to this.
