So the answer is to remove the option and let women fend for themselves?
Who cares if it’s a marketing decision, or comes from an absolute festering hole of a company? Stopped clocks and all that. This feature is obviously desirable if women are using it. And again, I think the safety of one group of people outweighs the wallets of another.
No I just said that this policy could be acceptable if it was being implemented as an industry-wide regulation by the state. This would require a non-bourgeois controlled state. Don't deflect from my point that this is being thrown out by Uber to distract from them failing to respond to user abuse reports and the women have to accept lower quality service (fewer available drivers even if prices are equalized to make up for that by the algo and do we know how their proprietary algo works or will work going forward?) to utilize it.
Since this is being challenged in courts as OP's post shows it's even more of a nothingburger from Uber...
