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.
Do you not think traumatized men might not? Me personally no, there’s also women who don’t fear for their life around men.
So… what’s your point? It applies to both sexes as I hopefully just helped you with.
Or of you the group that think the same can’t apply to men?
There’s a big difference in the amount of traumatized men and the systemic oppression of women. Have you ever thought that maybe everything isn’t about you? Do you actually listen to women when they talk to you or do you just go “but but men this men that!”
Of course there is, I never claimed otherwise.
We are just pointing out that the same can apply to men, if men aren’t included it’s not about equality, which is what EVERYONE should strive for.
I would be making these exact same arguments regardless of gender or races, as most people here probably would to. But there’s always a group of people (you, this is about you) that seem to think people fighting for overall rights are “men’s rights activists”. I’m sorry that you seem to have some bias in your life that all men are bad, but I myself am fighting for equal rights, not men’s, not women’s, equal rights.
