> Price discrimination in no way implies a conspiracy nor any ill-intent on the part of the company. It was implied by the commissioner and really, the article as a whole: "DCA Commissioner Julie Menin, who launched the investigation this summer, said the numbers show an insidious form of gender discrimination." Not only that, there wasn't any price discrimination to begin with. In your example, people are being charged different prices for the same good. That is definitely price discrimination and attempts to segment the market, you're right. But that's not happening. They're trying to build an equivalence between different goods. There are many reasons that doesn't work. Another comment here did a fantastic job of explaining why. See above.
