Scores of women have reported assaults by Uber drivers... Now Jenni Avins reports at Quartz that a ride-sharing service that only uses women as drivers, Chariot for Women, is set to launch April 19 in Boston, featuring more stringent background checks and additional steps to ensure riders correctly match with their drivers.... "[U]nlike other services, Chariot for Women features a patent-pending technology that will provide both users and drivers with a code after a request is made that will need to be verified upon starting the ride," reports Glamour. But "whether it's legal or not is a different question," says Joseph L. Sulman. Quartz reports that "According to civil rights lawyers, Chariot for Women's female-only policies could put it squarely in the crosshairs of gender discrimination lawsuits, which would be difficult to win." Founder Michael Pelletz says he welcomes the legal challenge. "We want to show there's inequality in safety in our industry," says Pelletz. "We hope to go to the US Supreme Court to say that if there's safety involved, there's nothing wrong with providing a service for women."

Their insurance must be enormous.

Read about it; they are literally breaking so many equal treatment laws.
>>
>>14826630
Will be dead within a month from lawsuits. Even if they could win (which they couldn't) the amount of money legal costs would soak up in just trying to defend it would be astronomical

Also:
>Adding that the service would also pick up children under 13 regardless of gender, as well as transwomen, Pelletz said he would welcome the legal challenge.

>Scores of women have reported assaults by Uber drivers
That would be 20 reports in like what? 2 years? Also, where's the police reports? If their are no police reports this is urban myth.
>>
>>14826630
I checked the links. It's all fear mongering. The assaults are alleged and I didn't see a single one for Boston.

Like to see them define that. Do they go by a visual estimation, or if it still has a dick, or what?

We should start a WAT ridesharing company featuring shitboxes and meme cars to do Uber/postmates/doordash all of our drivers sourced from /o/. That would be fucking sweet.

If software exists out of there that can connect all those services and is brandable I say it very plausible.

Even my little country of Norway and the small uni. college I go to now have weekly courses in stuff like gender sensitivity, gender politics, socialist justice and whatnot, and there are suggestions kinda like these coming forth quite often, with a few examples being that men were advised not to stand around doorways/stairs/elevators to prevent scaring women, bicycle parking for seperate genders (mens parking was apparently going to be like 300 feet further away from the main entrance than the women/trans), and (this one does happen and is apparently quite popular) student groups selling cookies, muffins and whatnot that are twice as expensive for men, with the goal being to highlight the supposed "pay gap"

If I am to be honest... its not the self-driving car or ISIS that makes me fear for my future

No idea about Boston but here all the crazy Uber drivers turned out to be cabbies or allegations made by people whose relatives were in the industry.

Reminds me of a woman that wanted an all female body shop or an oil change place. There's a good YouTube video where investors tell her she's retarded but can't find it. Help?

If they are contractor s, not employee s the law as it stands may not apply. Much the same way big fake titty strip clubs don't need to hire male dancers and vice versa

go protest it or something. daddy should've taught you that equal treatment laws don't mean shit. Ladies get preferential treatment, don't like it? Tough.

I hope it gets shut down when they realize that putting two cagey women in the same car is bad for insurance.

All they needed was one, and desu I wouldn't trust uber as far as I could throw it, though I do know my cousin ended up going to a wedding as a girl's date because of it.

like wtf. cmon man i just met you

Sounds like Uberbro tried to hook you up and you sperged out, anon.
>>
I couldn't care less, and it's probably a good idea but how fucking hypocritical is feminism to promote 'equality' and then go and do a thing like this.
At least we will be able to read about how much more likely this service is to be involved in collisions.

>Death toll is astronomical

Cars are sexist because theres no pedal for your emotions
>>
>>14835835
Yes there is. It's called the gas pedal, and you use it to BARGE YOUR WAY INTO THE ROUNDABOUT WITH YOUR GMC LIKE NO ONE'S GOING TO T-BONE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE SOME GODDAMN TRAILER TRASH TALKING ON A FUCKING CELL PHONE INSTEAD OF PAYING ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING RRRRAAAAAGHGRG

Protip: Never drive in Topeka.
