I’m assuming this would ideally be used by women who want woman Lyft drivers because there always is a concern that comes with male drivers. It doesn’t look like it filters out male users and that probably opens it up for easy exploitation by men.
Fuck that was literally a side plot on the sad horse show, that they founded an alternative to Uber with only female drivers after one of the characters complains about being harassed by a male driver. Then men start using the app to creep on the drivers, they replace all the drivers with strippers, and they sell the company for a huge profit and a feeling of guilt at having completely and utterly failed at what they set out to do in the first place.
yeah why would the app have the passengers’ gender listed? drivers can (and do) make assumptions about the names but letting either party filter for it is just a harassment tool
well they can’t address the issue, it’s literally contradictory to the business model. you want a safe, regulated environment for rider & driver? its called a fucking taxi

I am sympathetic as I remember that case where a male taxi driver was picking up, assulting, and murdering young women
obviously this company is going to fuck up its implementation

It’s a pretty lazy way to address a real issue without fixing anything. Can’t say I expected much more from a tech company.

Sounds like the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic to me
