    So all that will happen is that by removing sex from the risk calculation should recalibrate the weightings associated with jobs.

    So

    Cook
    Cleaner
    Dishwasher
    Prostitute
    Housewife
    Nurse
    Secretary
    ....

    Should still be lowly weighted.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

      But they can all have men doing them.

      And any man with sense who say is a "Chef" is going to call himself a "Cook" if it gets him lower insurance premiums. This trick you can already legally utilise and I do

      Edited to say: My current insurer doesn't actually care about that they just class you in a skills category i.e. manual, professional, semi-professional

          I think the word contractor is far better than prostitute. It's what I use on most forms.

          I still need a long shower at the end of the day but it's worth it.

            Women have been moaning about discrimination in particular in the work place for years with enormous success. It is conveniently ignored that women and men are different, particularly with regards to having children being mostly more important on a woman's agenda than work. This is why women are paid less,why they tend to work in convenient jobs such as HR, and why they do not work as directors of boards of companies. yet they scream that they want it both ways-equal pay, equal opportunities, no discrimination at the prospect of them going off and having children.

            Well now they have it both ways, they can have the same pay and they can pay the same as men for their f***ing insurance.

              Just because your car insurance will go up it does not mean you can take it out on us

                    Of course. But you're missing the point.

                    There will be a statisical weighting associated with jobs. Where they could be 50/50 then it wouldn't change, where there are more men (like computer programmer) then it would include the male weighting, where primary school teacher, then weighted towards women.

                    It will be inherent in jobs. Unless of course your unemployed.
