Personaly, I think that sucks, and if they are doing a carpet thing on gender, then where you live - say in a high crime area where cars are regularly nicked - why should you be discriminated against because you dont live in a gated community with security guards - surely the costs should be the same. Of course, I merely use this as an example of where the stupidity can go.
Why have 50% (ish) of car insurers clients no voice? Is it a lack of testicles?

It's illegal in all 50 states to underwrite anything other than life insurance based on gender. Since this thread is about a specific US insurance company, that's pretty much all there is to say about that.
