You've probably seen article like this one in the last few days, talking about how women could find insurance premiums (particularly car insurance) going up if the EU rules it discriminatory to take gender into account when setting its premiums.
A friend has asked whether this is discrimination against men, or just sound business sense? I've always thought the latter, given that the stastistics show that women have fewer car accidents and less spectacular ones than men. But if someone is told that the reason their premium is higher because they're a man, isn't that sexist?
I know there are other issues involved, such as age, but what do you think about the gender one?
