Lyft is introducing a new feature that lets women and non-binary riders choose a preference to match with drivers of the same gender.
The ride-hailing company said it was a “highly requested feature” in a blog post Tuesday, saying the new feature allows women and non-binary people to “feel that much more confident” in using Lyft and also hopefully encourage more women to sign up to be drivers to access its “flexible earning opportunities.”
The service, called “Women+ Connect,” is rolling out in the coming months. Riders can turn on the option in the Lyft app, however the company warns that it’s not a guarantee that they’ll be matched with a women or non-binary person if one of those people aren’t nearby. Both the riders and drivers will need to opt-in to the feature for it work and riders must chose a gender for it to work.
Can you at least tell me for what country you want to see a source, so I don’t have to look through and present to you the crime statistics of several countries?
So you know that most violent crimes are done by men (for the US is a source this for example: https://bjs.ojp.gov/library/publications/criminal-victimization-2020-supplemental-statistical-tables).
But for some magical reason you belief that specifically when driving a taxi everything we know about crime patterns is suddenly thrown out of the window?
Why is that providing statistics that show something like black people commit more crime is considered rascist, but if you want to do it for men it’s A-Ok? Also how come if we see something like black people committing more crime we want to know how society caused it, but if it’s men we just want to say men are shitbags. This really seems like it boils down to you and others justifying hatred.
If a system is bad for women we blame the the system, if a system is bad for men we blame the men.
