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.

MODERATORS
Lyft been doing this since last year too. In Chicago our group of 5 was told to have our two men seated in the back row because the driver wasn't comfortable with men. We were confused but the driver knew the ride was requested by a woman in our group and therefore assumed the whole group for the Lyft XL would be women I guess?
It really irks me when people change the titles of the articles they link to to try to fit their narrative. Because sadly people dont really click through to the article. Just share the real title and give your commentary on the comments.

i see more complaints about misogyny in the comments here than actual misogyny. Which is good, I'm just wondering what I missed

The "best solutuon that doesn't alienate the predators and therefore their money" award goes to. The platform moderation must be in an abysmal state. I consistently get drivers that go 70 through the city (speed limit is 50) I imagine just as much is being done about sexual harassment as bad driving.

Will women drivers be high in demand since the majority of drivers are men?

Honestly, I don't care about gender. Can you keep them off the phone and silent (goes both ways, I will do the same)?
