I read the title, saw the photo of the author, and made a snap judgment that the article was going to be a pseudo-intellectual, covertly conservative argument, such as: "Why race is actually a thing, sometimes" or "Why gender pay imbalances may be sometimes helpful" - and my snap judgment was right.
- klipt 11y agoWhat's funny about discrimination is some is overt, but much more is covert. Overt is mostly frowned upon, although e.g. car insurance companies still openly charge men more. I'm pretty sure that's only allowed because men aren't the "protected gender" when it comes to discrimination.
- nommm-nommm 11y agoThe term you are looking for is protected class. When gender based discrimination is outlawed men are included as well. That being said Montana outlaws gender based discrimination in auto insurance as does the EU. Where its allowed it is allowed because nobody got around to outlawing it. That can change. Until Obamacare many US states allowed health insurance companies to charge women higher premiums because women go to the doctor more. Obamacare outlawed that. I think gender discrimination is auto insurance will end eventually.
