We drivers are all commenting on this “lipstick on the pig” pretentious “good company” PR when Lyft is anything but a good company. Are there that many ignorant suckers in America? Apparently Lyft corporate thinks that women are.

Lyft has been finding new and exciting ways to discriminate. By adhering to their Diversity report and the guidance of their DEI team Lyft has been discriminating against employees and excluding applicants by their race and gender for years. Recently, Lyft invented Women+ connect, a feature that allows riders to discriminate against drivers by gender and sexual identity. This company will not age well, considering the recent lawsuits against Disney and Google. #Racyst #Sexyst
