A few points of conflict with Jackie L's (Eilonnwy) article.

[tavarish]

Insurance companies don't set up policies based on prejudice, they're motivated entirely by the assessment of risk. That women generally speaking make worse drivers skills wise they do nevertheless have fewer expensive accidents. The stats for collisions at 5mph or less have women in the majority. It's a fact and something statistically proven to be linked to sex. Get over it.

I'll reply with what Adrian wrote, since it addresses this exact thing:

"I should also mention to fr0d0 that in addition to my point earlier, it is irrelevant if the statistics say men are worse drivers; the fact that women can get better car insurance deals is still a privilege."
