Feeling more safe with your own gender is something understandable. I also absolutely agree that woman are much more in the need of such feature.
What I don’t get and hate is targetting something that could be useful to anyone in need and slice it to work only for woman.
In the city I live there is a clinic that announced free medical help for people with risk or after heart attack. Those are not some support groups, you don’t meet others and the clinic is mostly public funded for all. But they just decided to only offer this to woman, they advertise everywhere about free tests for woman. I asked some people from there and they have no idea why it is done that way, someone propably changed it and everyone accept it as ok.
Okey, would your opinion be the same if instead Lyft would announce Man+, an option for man to drive more frequently with man or non-binary? There are plenty of man who would feel safer having their own space.
I have no problem and won’t ever rage at choice, but Lyft choices feels like treating woman as a minority:
Why woman are being put in this group, but man not? It’s not like they too are almost half of the society, aren’t they?
Also, how can someone not feel excluded, when there is literally a switch to turn off him because of the gender?
Imagine what if you were talking to actually sexually abused person. He asks why as a man he cannot have such protective feature too and as reponse instead of any empathy from you got dry calculated explanation as if he didn’t know about female being abused, with mixed ad hominem ended by “talk to a woman”.
