people wearing bras (not against women). Let's prove it with logic:
my cab will only carry people not wearing bras. (generalization for sake of argument: all women wear bras, no men wear bras) 
          |  Bra  |  No Bra  |
----------|-------|----------|
Women     |  Yes  |    No    |
----------|-------|----------|
Man       |  No   |    Yes   |
----------|-------|----------|
The only factor affecting willingness to carry someone is the presence or absence of a bra, not the person's gender.
(Hmmm. I may have missed something in my logic here :)

The point is, if a characteristic is almost universally shown by a one group and not by another, then specifying that characteristic is practically equivalent to specifying that group. Conditional probability and all that.
