Lyft is introducing a new feature that lets women and non-binary riders choose a preference to match with drivers of the same gender.
The ride-hailing company said it was a “highly requested feature” in a blog post Tuesday, saying the new feature allows women and non-binary people to “feel that much more confident” in using Lyft and also hopefully encourage more women to sign up to be drivers to access its “flexible earning opportunities.”
The service, called “Women+ Connect,” is rolling out in the coming months. Riders can turn on the option in the Lyft app, however the company warns that it’s not a guarantee that they’ll be matched with a women or non-binary person if one of those people aren’t nearby. Both the riders and drivers will need to opt-in to the feature for it work and riders must chose a gender for it to work.
You’d probably defend a Nazi getting punched
If they haven’t hurt anyone and they’re merely using their free speech then I would not defend assault and battery on them. Just because their ideas and speech are deplorable does not give you the right to assault them.
There it is
Sorry for not being a piece of shit.
The opposite actually, you’d prefer to platform outright hateful people than aggressively remove them to show that they aren’t welcome.
You seem to equate in difference to all as agreement to the worst. That’s not how any of this should work.
Something something a Nazi walks into a bar, I’m sure you’ve read this story on here.
Being indifferent will just allow the problem to fester, sure maybe you aren’t on the streets shouting down minorities with them, but you are just letting them go about doing their thing because they have this magical right to their terrible harmful opinions
That’s only a problem if you have no rebuttal. Fight speech with speech. If you can’t win, that’s your problem.
Ah yes, nazis, famous for listening to reason
