Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US (www.uber.com)

When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

Assuming I'm one of these hypothetical men that you want to do that, what exactly did I fail to do? You've forgotten that men have also been told they don't need a man's assistance, they are independent and equal. Those are conflicting with being told to believe women when they say things, but don't believe them situationally, and we must be psychically aware of when we're supposed to act vs not act.

So what did I do wrong that warrants me being assumed to have failed at doing? If I can do better I would, I just don't see what I missed.
