[net.women] Discrimination in insurance on the basis of sex

I said the same thing in a article about a month ago - that exactly
the same arguments apply to discriminating according to sex in auto
insurance and pension benefits, and that the two should be handled
consistently.

Two people replied (by mail) to my article.  Both agreed that the handling
should be consistent.  One thought that discrimination (this isn't necessarily
a negative word) was appropriate in both circumstances, the other thought
that there should be no sex-based discrimination.  Make of this what you
will.
