Anyone know?
it's interesting how such sex discrimination is allowed. i've got some book called the death of reason or something, which explores this. as it points out - black people are more likely to be victims of crime, but we'd be up in arms if there insurance terms differed as a result. there are other examples.

basically prejudice is entrenched in our society, it's just that it's the pc prejudices that prevail.
