# Classic example
An advert that excludes women. It was discontinued on grounds of sexual discrimination. Whereas men a continually portrayed as simple, uncouth, inintelligent, inferior to women (who are smart as they use BrandX) beings in about 99% of all televised adverts..

# if you look at any statistics that are split across 2 groups
then one will always be higher than the other, i,e accidents per miles driven

men v women
white people v non-white people
people over 5 foot 7 vs shorter
people with a middle name v people with no middle name
one religion vs all other religions

but nobody would dream of discriminating across any of these categories

# I'd like to discriminate against people who don't have a middle name
and also people who have more than one middle name.

Ronnie Corbett was in a sitcom about a world in which short people were discriminated against, but that's all I can remember about it.

edit/ as far as I can find out, the sitcom was "Small Problem" and didn't star Ronnie Corbett, it was Mike out of the Young Ones.

# Yes they would!
If statistics said people under 5' 7" claimed more money; they'd charge them extra. They do this for a living you know! Health insurance does it all the time. Family history, lifestyle, BMI, smokers...

I'm just pointing out the facts. And as far as I know, nobody gets charged for cancer. It's free.

# It is sexist and it's as irritating to women as it's is to men.
They also are a rip-off, they charge more than other insurance companies not less as they claim.

The EU bullshit won't make it cheaper insurance for anybody but that's more down to the way Insurance Companies work rather than anything else especially as they try to predict what kind of driver you are based on some statistics they claim to be accurate but it's the worse kind of generalisation.
