Male Drivers Sue Uber and Lyft For Sex Discrimination Over Women-Only Ride-Hailing Feature
Posted on 11/9/25 at 7:59 pm
Posted on 11/9/25 at 7:59 pm
Uber and Lyft offer women the option to choose only women drivers after years of sexual harassment and assault lawsuits against the companies but male drivers are pushing back with a class action suit contending that the program violates California law.
Time
quote:
Lawyers acting for the plaintiffs argue that male drivers “are discriminated against and receive fewer and different rides than they otherwise would absent the policy.” They contend that the policy “reinforces the gender stereotype that men are more dangerous than women.”
California has some of the nation’s strongest anti-discrimination laws. The lawsuit accuses both Uber and Lyft of violating the Unruh Act, a California civil rights law that “expressly prohibits sex discrimination by business enterprises.”
They are seeking $4,000 in damages per male driver in California for violating state law.
According to Uber’s most recent U.S. Safety Report, which covered 2021 to 2022, they received 2,717 reports of serious sexual assault or misconduct, and 92% of the accused individuals were drivers.

They’re fricked either way they go with this - either they allow discrimination or they don’t support the safety of their users.

Why should it be any different than catching a cab?

I don’t know the last time I caught a cab, but can you gender select when you request a cab?

If youre going to have that why not let me pick the race then?

It is discriminatory.
What I wanna know is how this plays out concerning transformers.
Also, if one group can select their driver's characteristics, all groups should be able to do so for all characteristics.

Which is why this feature is going to be forced to go away.

Race is a no-no, but gender is fine long as it's at men's expense.
I'll never understand why it's legal to charge us more for car insurance.

If I'm feeling especially lucky can I order an asian woman?

I want a They/Them driver. Teamwork for the win.

You are just living in the wrong state; some states, including mine, don't allow it.
These sorts of allowances in public accommodations (Title II of the Civil Rights Act) were put into effect when screwing over women was still cool, we never changed the law to include gender, so now the rabbit got the gun.
White guys like myself wrote and promulgated laws that benefited them for centuries, and our forefathers didn't give much thought about how they would impact white guys when the rest of the country was the majority (together) and actually got a little power. So you have the whole chickens/roost and one's own petard hoisting kinda things going on.

I think you’re on to something here.
Needs a “dimensions” feature as well.
