We should cut the nation in half down the middle, male side and female side. We’ll have gender embassies to coordinate economic matters. Every 10 years we’ll all send our most fit and fertile to meet in the gender demilitarized zone for breeding. Better yet, maybe we can establish a reproductive material trade so we never have to see each other.
Honestly thought it would be obvious to everyone that this was a joke given how preposterous it was. Yes I do see why women would want this.
The joke is really just meant to be funny. But if we wanna dissect it we can. Though I feel like it should be sufficient to say the joke is about capitalism.
Punching down? The fuck? Nah, you’re the sexist one here. I view women as my equals. I can’t believe I really have to spell this out but the joke is about capitalism.
Alright, I’ll bite too despite knowing you’ve already made your mind up and will interpret this in bad faith.
Lyft obviously does not give a single fuck about safety, they are a corporation in the United States. It just doesn’t compute. This is very clearly a move for optics and perhaps marketing, which OP has so kindly done for them. If they gave a shit they would have a proper vetting process for their drivers instead of this. Calling this move half-assed is a too generous. This doesn’t protect women from serious threats from any motivated bad actor. Sex pests will say they are a trans woman, which Lyft will never verify due to negligence and optics. Traffickers will employ women to drive for them, which is already a somewhat common practice in general.
The joke is about how capitalism creates problems in society and the pretends to solve them in ways that seem productive on the surface. In actuality, these solutions are only to enrich the system while pacifying the people it exploits, all while sowing the division capitalism thrives on. The joke is hyperbole taking this notion to the extreme.
Allow me to restate that it’s a JOKE, the purpose is to be funny, and it’s not that serious. It was funny to me, clearly it was funny to some others based on the votes. As with all jokes, not everyone needs to get it.

Or, you know, just not be horrible towards each other 🤷🏻
I like this idea better.
Naive and foolish, gender segregation is the only way /s
Since you are making fun of this: Do you understand, why a woman would want this option?

Why did this upset you so much?
Thought it was obvious that this was a joke… I was chuckling as I typed this…
That’s a shit ass joke, man. Punching down is bad comedy.

It’s not, though.
It’s a joke, man. Just say you don’t get it and move on. It’s not that serious.
It’s a joke about making fun of women, or anyone who cares about women in general, for not wanting to get raped or attacked.
Just say you’re a rape culture misogynist and move on.
Fuck it, I’ll bite, actually, explain to me how what you said is a joke about capitalism? Spell it out for me, I’m real dumb.
