And to get the chuds that are screaming "discrimination against men!!!" to shut up, would it not be possible to offer the inverse? That is to prefer to have a man as the driver for customers that are men.

I get what you are saying, but if there were an Uber men-only option, people would fucking attack it and call the guys sexist. I personally think a fixed-gender option only is ridiculous. And yes, I do think that women-only and men-only are both discrimination. But I'm not worked up about it enough to really care if it goes forward or not.
