Article here. Excerpt:

'A new ride-sharing company is hiring female drivers only, with plans to cater to only woman and children.

"She Drives Me" will match women drivers with women passengers who may fell less comfortable with a man behind the wheel.

The company also plans to do extensive background checks and drug testing.

It's set to launch this fall in Dallas, Texas, and several other cities nationwide. You'll be able to book a ride through an app.'

I don't understand why eliminating half your potential customers is desirable to some business owners. Well, I guess that's what happens when the business owners make decisions based solely on their feelz.

Hmmm, Many say that gender is social construct. What happens if a man feels like a woman that day and summons a ride? or what about an employee who is a biological male, but identifies as a female?

With anti-discrimination laws about gender identity, this could get interesting.
