I've been experiencing something very strange with this. I do Uber part time, am a dude, and had this option offered to me to only drive female passengers recently. That doesn't seem right to me...

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.
