Re: Equal rights - but only when it suits?

Life insurance for women is usually either cheaper than for men of the same age or the cover is higher. That is nothing to do with attracting the custom of women it is because on the whole women live longer than men. Insurance companies work from statistics. That is why if you live in a high risk area your buildings and contents insurance is higher. You are, in the opinion of the insurance company, more likely to be burgled because more burglaries take place in those areas.

The older you are when you take out a new life insurance policy the higher your premiums will be because the company presumes they will get less money out of you before you shuffle off. They are in the business of making as much money as possible. (spoken as an ex employee of the finance industry)

Hi Pendy,

Yep, getting used to storms, but I prefer the ones like hurricanes because they are of a more predictable nature. Hell hath no fury and all that.................

Just as Pendy says, getting 2 drinks for the price of 1, and dancing a lot. The fact that it is subsidised by men is unfair, but hey, this is cheap booze we're talking about. All's fair in love, war and beer....

Yes! It is cheap booze we are talking about and I want MY share! It would be great if the clubs changed the offer to "2 for the price of one but only if they are pints of bitter or mild"!

[QUOTE=Ceejache]The vibe I get from these sort of things is that it is acceptable and understandable if a woman attacks a cheating man, but not the other way round. QUOTE]

That's exactly my point Ceejache. No way could a bloke's mag get away with printing an article the condoned a man to mutilate his girlfriend for cheating on him. I was quite disgusted that as a reader I was supposed to think that it was comical or that she was in the right.

The way I see it is that it is just as bad if a woman abuses a man as it is the other way around. I realise that it is more common for a woman to be the victim - but does that mean that the few abused men out there are any less of a victim???

Certainly not and equally wrong is the idea that this somehow makes up for all the times that women are the victims.
