this place never fails with its reddit-isms and lack of nuance. If you want data, look at SA data and see the demographics of the victims vs the demographics of the perpetrators. This is a tool to give peace of mind and potentially lower SA on ubers.
I don't think this will meaningfully hurt male drivers. Most women likely won't use this option, or they will in scenarios like being drunk and alone only (so very situational). People are pretending like 50% of the population just chose to self segregate at all times for no reason.
Asking "what gender do you identify as?" isn't tyranny and does not involve uploading your ID. Pretty much most services I know ask "what is your gender?"
It's not stereotypes if statistically, most people who are SAd are women and most of the perpetrators are men. This isn't just "peace of mind."
Ask a woman who is drunk after the club late at night if she would prefer a male or female driver when she's alone in an uber/cab and 99% will say yes.
But people will say like "oh but statistically some race commits more crime, is racism ok?" it's not the same because patriarchy is global and is found in most cultures, sadly. So a woman wouldnt exactly be much safer with a white man vs a black man.
I agree generally. Personally, I just have separate pixelfed and mastodon accounts. But pixelfed is mostly for browsing lol, I post, but it is just posting into the void with my 0 followers.
