Uber launched a feature Monday to allow both women riders and drivers across the U.S. to be matched with other women for trips, expanding a pilot program aimed at addressing concerns about the safety of its ride-hailing platform.
The new feature is being rolled out nationwide despite an ongoing class action lawsuit against the policy in California, filed by Uber drivers who argue that it discriminates against men. Rival ride-hailing company Lyft is facing a discrimination lawsuit over a similar offering that it introduced nationwide in 2024.
Men are categorically worse drivers than women.
Source? I mean this was a joke and doesn’t matter but w/e.
I found some more sources for you:
"There are more licensed female drivers in the U.S. than male drivers. But men nonetheless drive far more than women each year.
A disproportionate share of fatal traffic accidents involves male drivers, particularly when speeding or alcohol use is a contributing factor. Overall, male drivers were involved in over 72% of fatal car accidents in the U.S. in 2023."

“For nearly every year from 1975 to 2023, the number of male crash deaths was more than twice the number of female crash deaths.”

“The results indicate that young women who exhibit high-risk driving behavior deviate more from the general population of young women with respect to alcohol use, alcohol misuse, and marijuana use than high-risk-driving young men differ from other young men. In addition, findings indicate that even if young men and women were to eventually have equal levels of substance use, women would likely retain their lower-risk driving profiles. These findings suggest the need for (1) future research to understand the differential associations, and (2) prevention programs that consider these gender differences.”

So per mile, women are still safer drivers
Yes, but it’s funnier to punch down on women /s
Is the punchline sexism? Hilarious.
“But compared with women, male drivers of cars and vans had twice the rate of fatal accidents per mile driven. Male truck drivers had about four times the rate of women truckers, and men driving motorcycles almost 12 times the rate of women motorcyclists. For bus drivers and bicycle riders, there was little difference between the sexes.”

I get passed by the same three women nurses every morning. You can tell by their car tags they are nurses. They pass into oncoming traffic. They pass in heavy rain. They pass in non passing zones. They are the worst drivers out there on my morning commute. All cars have damage. Two have multiple dipshit dings. So yeah. Its men who are the whole problem. /s
Yes yes, those 3 women represent all women worldwide. You found us out.
At least you can admit it since you think all men are terrible drivers.
Reading comprehension is a real struggle for you, isn’t it?
Knowing that men, on average, are worse drivers than women does not mean I think all men are terrible drivers.
Same as knowing that 3 women being terrible drivers doesn’t mean all women are terrible drivers.
I didn’t say all women were bad drivers. I described the three worst drivers I encounter on my morning commute and you extrapolated all women from that. With you superior comprehension skills. LOL.
You clearly offered that anecdotal evidence to refute my claim that men are worse drivers than women on average.
Your sarcastic line at the end of your comment “So yeah. Its men who are the whole problem. /s” belies your intent.
You clearly are childishly triggered I posted at all. You are looking for a fight where none exist. I know what to do though I block you now so spray away I wont see it.
Yeah pushing that women are worse drivers than men because of the 3 drivers you encountered is a brain dead take.
sure, and dudes under 25 pay more for car insurance.
15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. It could also ending up costing you 30% more for car insurance so choose wisely.
Yeah, Those nursing tags virtually guarantee they will never get pulled over and it shows in their reckless sprint to work every morning.
You, too, could become a nurse and get to drive recklessly.
See? Not sexist.
