According to Pat Iurilli:

	Allstate Insurance Co, which is being sued by a former female employee
	who was purposely paid less than men performing the same job, has
	announced that it is good business practice to pay women less because
	it encouraged higher productivity!  Apparently this woman was paid $850
	when men doing the exact same job were being paid $1000.  Can anyone
	believe that in this day and age that people, especially someone in
	such a high corporate position, could be like this?  It's a little
	unnerving.  

It's only what I'd expect from Allstate (or any insurance company), since all
their rates are discriminatory based on sex.  I guess they figured that since
women don't have to pay as much for insurance, they don't need as much pay!
