      There was a post on a UK sub I saw yesterday about a woman taxi driver who wasn’t sure about the job – clearly there is a demand, just might need to form a company to offer the service or even a franchise

      Does this really fulfill the exceptions in the equality act to be legal? Doesn’t really feel like it, just feels like straight up sexism

      If this was in London, I would use this.

      I don’t want to be shitty to male drivers but I have had too many weird experiences with male Uber drivers at this point.

      As much as I support this, UK equality laws prohibit them from not hiring male drivers. It would be discrimination based on sex. I remember an insurance provider called Sheila’s Wheels a while back but not sure whatever happened to them.

      Jesus fuck, gender divisions now? We need to equalise the playing field, not introduce gender segregation

      This makes it seem like all male drivers have issues, which is certainly not the case.

      Any accusations of misconduct is the exception rather than the norm.

      (Edit: why am I getting downvoted? If you check the statistics, the overall cases of misconduct is lower than the number of overall licensed taxi drivers in UK)

      That was a lot of words for “a taxi service for the religious that forbid the sexes mingling”

      I wish we had this up North.

      I pick my partner up every time she goes out because of the experiences she’s had with male taxi drivers.

      Hard to see how this is legal under the Equality Act, any man applying to drive with this company is clearly being discriminated against for his gender.

      It’s also a real problem with society if we allow the “all men are sexual predators” meme to take over and, essentially, ban men from roles that service women. How about trying to weed out the *tiny minority* of problem men instead?

      So many comments claiming that this is sexist and is only wanted for religious reasons.

      I’m an atheist and I’m going to put this very fucking bluntly. WHEN MEN STOP RAPING AND KILLING US, WE WILL STOP BEING AFRAID OF THEM.

      If you’re going to give me the whole “not all men” spare me. We already know that, obviously, which is why we continue to have relationships with men. We marry them. We carry their children. Don’t lecture us as though we don’t already know it’s not everyone. It’s insulting. The issue is that we don’t know who will attack, so to get into a car with a man who could be a danger is to put one’s self in a very vulnerable position.

      Drect your anger towards the creeps who intimidate, pester and attack women. Don’t be mad at the women who are fearful as a result.
