Well that's just the argument feminists use to claim a wage gap.

"Women are expected to stay at home"

Men choose to work those jobs and men choose to drive fast cars. I pay 300 because I drive a small car and work a low risk job with minimal commute.

If we're ok with one we should be ok with the other.

Any way I need to get back to fact checking people at work haha.

How can you say men have chosen a particular job when it comes after the fact? You want them to just give up their job and livelihood when insurers have unreasonably changed the rules on them?

It's not the same argument because the 'wage gap' is gone into knowingly by women who choose those professions, the men who have chosen their professions just suddenly had those costs added onto them *in a real effort by insurance companies to keep the costs on men*

If you go into a driving profession insurance is part of those costs. Anybody with any sense would factor those costs in. It's part of the reason men earn more.

2018-11-30 10:19:45 UTC  

They increased those costs, on the professions men are in, to offset not being able to directly charge men more. You can't factor in such a cost increase.

2018-11-30 10:20:15 UTC  

The way that it was done discriminates against men

2018-11-30 10:24:17 UTC  

We can restart this later but I have a bunch of stuff to check at work. I respectfully disagree though.

That much for saline? If you guys lived in Europe that would be considered attempted blackmail.

@InsaneCaterpilla ever see the old 'Sheila's wheels' adverts? If you talked down to women like they do, you'd be lynched.

hi

2018-11-30 18:39:22 UTC  

@Men Are Human sold insurance apparently tough

2018-11-30 21:51:48 UTC  

Still sexist, really.

2018-11-30 22:06:34 UTC  

Haha I'm not saying it wasn't

2018-12-01 11:54:24 UTC  

No worries. I wasn't accusing you

2018-12-01 11:55:31 UTC  

The International Men's Day speech in the UK Parliament!

2018-12-01 12:06:01 UTC  

@Men Are Human I remember those ads, they pissed me off back then too. Thanks for that link, I hadn't seen it

2018-12-01 12:10:06 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla Pissed me off more! XD

2018-12-01 12:11:07 UTC  

I doubt it, the music and singing were just as grating as the sexist message

2018-12-01 12:11:42 UTC  

@InsaneCaterpilla I was just joking about. XD

2018-12-01 12:39:46 UTC  

I know mate.

It's good to see those issues being discussed in parliament, and its also hard not to be angry toward that woman for laughing at what he was saying. At the same time she's practically proving the contempt men are held in

2018-12-01 12:51:12 UTC  

Yep. Laughing at men for bringing up men's problems in Parliament is a bit of a tradition.

2018-12-01 12:51:38 UTC  

"Can we just talk about men being abused for a second?"

2018-12-01 12:51:55 UTC  

*Hysterical disbelieving laughter*

2018-12-01 12:52:27 UTC  

Hey, why don't we find out who she is and write her polite letters of disgust?

2018-12-01 13:04:08 UTC  

I wouldn't be polite

2018-12-01 13:05:49 UTC  

It wouldn't be considered misconduct would it? She didn't break the rules

2018-12-01 13:11:35 UTC  

Hmmm.

2018-12-01 13:11:48 UTC  

Maybe not actual misconduct.

2018-12-01 13:12:12 UTC  

Unless they consider gender-based discrimination?

2018-12-01 13:39:09 UTC  

I think it would likely be a hard sell to consider what she did that, sadly. It's deplorable, but it doesn't break any rules.

2018-12-01 13:39:37 UTC  

Yeah, I am kinda seeing that.
