Hmm, you are right, replacing gender with race does make a good point I didn’t realize. “I want to be able to choose a white driver because I wouldn’t feel safe with a driver of different race” is basically the same point as with gender, but sounds way more wrong and it shows pretty well why is the whole idea a bad one.
At least I’m struggling to find any arguments for the gender version (which is not a bad thing, mind you), if I take this race example into account. You are right that way more rigorous screening of drivers with 0-strike policy would be a lot better than this.
In general this might work for a lot of similar situations, treating gender as a race. I’ll keep that in mind, because it makes sense and I never really though about it that way. Thanks!
