    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

      It may seem like a good idea, but it’s still wrong if you really think about it. Just take a look at how this sounds:

      It would not be discrimination if they just allowed all drivers and riders to choose the specific race designation they want to work with. I.e. allow whatever race riders to choose whatever race drivers they accept and vice versa. Most won’t use it and those that do will have a reason to do so. Maybe black drivers don’t want white riders to avoid even the possibility of accusations, [and some white riders won’t feel safe with a black driver]?

      Would that be OK?

      How often do women drivers randomly accuse men for that to be an issue? And wouldn’t that be exploited more by misogynistic men than misandristic women? These types of problems are always one-sided. I don’t see a way around this besides using a little discrimination to stop the huge discrimination and sexual harassment from happening.
