Women get low car rates b/c they, as a group, are less likely to have accidents. Feminists quote this fact all the time.

There’s your answer in a nutshell.
This is a difficult subject; it could apply to a lot of things.
I think its perfectly fair to make people pay for services based on relevant grouping.
It would be unfair to treat people as individuals E.G: An unlucky person born with cancer would have to pay a massive amount for medical treatment.
It would also be unfair to treat everyone equally because some groups of people will end up costing much more than others: E.G Smokers will cost more for medical treatment, (if its their own fault, why should healthy people pay for their decisions?)
To conclude: It is not fair that men should pay more for motor insurance, yet pay the same amount as women for medical treatment. This happens because car insurance is based on men and women as two different groups, and medical insurance is...
