Can you say reverse discrimination?  Uh huh, thought you could.

Here's an interesting newsie.  A while ago, some woman charged a major
western university with sex discrimination.  Seems the university retirement
plan discriminated against women, paying them less money each month than men
who had contributed the same amount to the program.  Sounds pretty bad huh?

The actuaries said women at the university live several years longer than
their male counterparts.  They reasoned that women get, on the average, the
same amount back as men, just in smaller installments over a longer period
of time.

Well, it was found to be discriminatory.  Now women get the same monthly
check as their male colleagues.  For more years.  That's fair, right?
--------------
I think discrimination based on mathematically demonstrable differences 
between men and women should be legal.
