this article talks about women's car insurance and about how now women have to pay the same car insurance. The funny thing the article is written in a negative slant. Portraying this as a bad thing for women or that women are being treated badly now even though you know if it was the other way around (women paying more for something and men then being made to as well) it would be seen as a victory for equality. Take a look at the women interviewed in this article, whining she has to pay more now. What's wrong ladies, I thought you wanted equality? Well here it is ladies here is what it tastes like
hilarious part in the article
"A European court ruling last year found that gender discrimination in insurance was against the law."
It took a court ruling to realize discrimination against men was wrong. Say it all doesn't it?
Finally seeing equality being rammed down the throats of those who constantly whine they don't have it, and when they get it, what do they do, they whine that they have it
Answer
Not to play the devil's advocate here, but women pay like 150 bucks to get their hair done like once a month or 2, whereas guys pay like 12 bucks. I don't see you fighting for women's hair cuts to be cheaper, or for men's to be more expensive. They have to buy tampons, we don't, they have to buy bras, we don't.
On another note.... Its about damn time.... It sickens me when a I hear what my girl friends pay for car insurance.... I have a clean record (for over 10 years now) and I know females who have been in multiple at-fault accidents that still pay less than me.

Why are women complaining about getting treated equally in this article?

Answer
I've long thought it interesting and inconsistent that companies legally can not gender discriminate based on statistical gender risk, but insurance companies can.
I think it make sense to hold insurance companies to the same non-discrimination practice we hold others which is why we should also get rid of legislation that allows or even encourages gender discrimination.
Add: To answer your question, women, or feminists are complaining because they want it both ways. They are against statistical discrimination that works against them, but want to allow statistical discrimination when it advantages them.
