Generalist but in some cases valid, my concern with it is the simple fact that we all will end up paying more & the only winners are the insuranceOriginally posted by DodgyAgent View PostWomen 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.

Assuming Insurance providers are keeping female premiums low because the risk is lower than men, and not because they feel nice towards women. I'l look forward to my premium coming down as the premiums for each gender cross somewhere in the middle of where they are now.Comment

If you think they will cross you're bonkers, they will simply equalise the premiums at the higher price.Originally posted by emma411 View PostAssuming Insurance providers are keeping female premiums low because the risk is lower than men, and not because they feel nice towards women.

Over here you insure your car slightly differently. There's none of this occupation/sex/other driver/whatever malarky, you insure the car and the rate depends on the car (model, bhp, your mileage per year, where it is normally parked, etc.), your age, no claims and thats it. Therefore that means anyone can drive it if allowed“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
