Male drivers get your discrimination lawsuits ready for your lost income.

Did you even read the article? How would women drivers deciding they want more women and nb passengers cause male drivers to lose income…
How is this the most upvoted comment

Next they should add white people to be able to get only white drivers to make them comfortable! /s It’s obviously sexist and not a real solution to their issues

Your comment makes no sense given the details provided in the article. The toggle runs a gender-based sort on available passengers when a driver indicates they're ready to pick up a new passenger.
- Male driver, without this toggle, indicates they're ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by current algorithms.
- Female+ driver, with this toggle off, indicates they're ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by current algorithms.
- Female+ driver, with this toggle on, indicates they're ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by gender then current algorithms.
At no point does the pool of available passengers for male drivers decrease.

You've changed the perspective to potential wait time for male passengers. That may be true but it doesn't have an adverse impact on male drivers, which is what was stated in the comment I replied to.
It is objectively always better to be in the women+ group than outside of it.
Based on Ubers data, women+ are raped five times as often in ride shares. "Objectively" I bet a lot of women+ would choose "maybe a longer wait" over "5x chance of being raped".
