Your immutable characteristics don't involve you having a 1 in 3 to 1 in 4 (depending on whose numbers you use) chance of being raped or sexually assaulted in your lifetime. That makes it easy to dismiss the concerns of those who do ... but that doesn't make those concerns invalid.

oof Loramin, using your statistical likelihood of being victimized by a group to justify discrimination against said group is a road I don't think you want to go down

this is one of those things i assumed was already a feature.

also, i want the option to only pick a male driver. I nearly had a panic attack from a distracted female lyft driver once.

i'd pay extra for an ride app with female drivers in manual cars with gutted interiors and 5 point harness recaro seats or something though... like a lot extra.

So you feel you'll be safer with a male driver because ... males don't get distracted? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yes.

without knowing any other information other than gender.

we could construct a whole flow chart(?) if you want, like a European female ranks higher because i'm pretty sure you have to actually take your test in a manual car in a lot of countries over there and the whole drivers education in general is better.

i live in Texas, it's like 10 written questions and a 5 minute drive around the block and you get your license, it's fucking terrible.
