I'm not positive, but I think most insurance companies are biased (by gender as well as by high-risk activities like smoking) based more on statistics than prejudice. I'd be willing to bet that the percentage of accidents among men is higher than it is for women. I don't think it's fair to responsible, safe men on the road, but I do think it's an insurance company's right to charge what they will based on statistical evidence. Then again, I don't know any of this for sure.
