It seems like the system allows women and non-binary people to request female or non-binary drivers.

This was put in place because of several sexual assault and harassment suits against Uber due to their male drivers assaulting women.

Now there are men suing to force women to accept rides from people they feel unsafe with because “not all men”.

But enough men have. Too many men have.

It’s a shame that male drivers lose out in this situation, but I think the safety of the customer outshines the petulant demands of a few drivers.

It would not be discrimination if they just allowed all drivers and riders to choose the specific gender designation they want to work with. I.e. allow whatever gender riders to choose whatever gender drivers they accept and vice versa. Most won't use it and those that do will have a reason to do so. Maybe male drivers don't want female riders to avoid even the possibility of accusations? etc
