Hmm, does that mean that women want to pay more for car insurance now? Because men pay much higher premiums for liability and collision insurance than women. So if this unfair discrimination is ended, then women’s car insurance premiums will go up — because you know darn well they won’t lower men’s insurance premiums down to the level that women pay.

It's called Crony Capitalism.

Vehemently disagree.

It's called "Crony Socialism." Another name for it is National Socialism.

My anecdotal life experience seems to reflect more frequent use of “health care” support, for my female friends and relatives, in the 15 to fifty age group, than myself and my male friends, with females seeming to be in need of those services for matters related to the urogenital tract and reproductive cycle with much greater occurrence than the guys; and needless to say, although it takes a man and woman to make a baby, nearly all the post-conception health care is needed by the woman.

So, is the argument they are making one where they think a single healthy 22 year old male is “unfairly” charged less for a single-person health insurance policy, than a single healthy 22-year-old female? They’re wrong. She will, due to her own gender-related issues, on average, require more “health care services” than her male friend.

They were wrong too when they said, in the 1980s, that a man and a woman who are both age sixty-five on the same date and who have exactly the same balance on that date in their pension account MUST be given the exact same monthly pension, even though it is a known fact that, on average, the woman is most likely (actuarial and financial risk calculations) to live years longer than the man (and for whom the pension system must make those payments for a longer period).
