I worked for a car insurance company for ten years and the management would answer, “Because loss history shows that we pay more in claims for insured men.”

So that’s ok but for some reason if it were a particular race they wouldn’t think to charge people More by race so honestly I don’t know how to answer your question in a logically consistent manner.



The UK changed the law fairly recently to prevent price differentiation by gender.


I feel like this is just a good way to make women pay as much as men, instead of lowering prices for men to pay as much as women.


If the market were efficient the new price would be somewhere in the middle. Is this what happened in the UK? I don’t know.

Not completely sure, but I think it is.
