I got thinking today.. Dangerous, I know.

After seeing all the 'female only' insurance companies out there, why aren't there 'male only' insurance companies?

More importantly, if there were, would there be an outcry of sexism from the general public?

Can you imagine it? Dave's Wheels..

'We know that men make better drivers, so we'll give you an excellent price for your insurance IF YOUR A MAN!'.

That's pretty much exactly the way current female only insurance companies market themselves, yet there's no outcry of sexism.

Interesting? Discuss!

Sheila's wheels will give you a quote even if your a bloke

Really? No way.

Either way, they obviously, deliberately target their adverts toward women. What if men had the same?

Dazza01

yer, on confused.com, thwey gave me a top quote on a Micra.

But the women soon find out there not as cheap as they make out tho.

eg,
37yr wife 4yrs NCB F/C Renault laguna 1995 present insurer £130

Sheilas wheels £329

I rest my case

Probein

That's fair enough.

But my point is, why isn't insurance ever targeted toward just men? Regardless of whether it is indeed a better deal or not.

Blokes are generally too laid back to moan about this kinda stuff, we have more important things to do with our time like hobbies, work and stuff.

Women will always make a big issue out of things..........thats just what women do. Take something and blow it all out of proportion!

Sexism is all one sided, just like racism and other such issues. Basically if you are a White Bloke you just have to bend over and take it.

As for the insurance - they all use the same random number generating machine anyhow don't they?

Simple answer? Because your insurance would go up, and such a company would never be able to compete, except by selling to sexist retards.

If you're after an outcry, go for white men only

Gangtas, Wiggas and Bangra Boys need not apply

Only to comply with the EU though.
If I were a woman, appart from feeling my breasts all day, I'd be seriously peeved at women-focused adverts. So many are so patronising.
Hey Woman - are you sick of not being able to plug in you Borneo Rainforrest Woodcutter's Armpit fragranced air fresheners? Now there's one with batteries, so you can go back to thinking of lambs and bunnies, and let men do hard things.
