Your article is logical to a point and then you lose me.

The reason that women are given lower premiums on auto
insurance is (supposedly) they  are safer drivers --
statistically.


The reason that women are given lower salaries and
benefits is they (fill in the blank) -- statistically.


What do you think the reason is and is it fair?
