Interesting question came to me while reading people threatening to rend that persons spleen from his body with blunt implements. As a male drive, I've been told, to my face, that my rates are higher than that of a female driver in my same position due to statistical data stating that man are more likely to cause/be involved in accidents due to negligence.
Now, the question; If they had done the same to a female driver, how fast would they get sued for discrimination? Consider if they did this in a bank; If you wanted to open a bank account, as a female, but they apply the restriction that you have to carry a minimum balance as it is statistically proven (I'm making this up, its not true) that women bounce more cheques then males.
Moreover, does this not imply that men have gotten so use to being undercut that we don't care enough to put up a fight when something is obviously discrimatory? Or is it frowned upon for us to make waves/gripe about not getting what we want?
