I think blondes should pay more for car insurance because they have more fun
and probably more accidents (it might be worth studying the statistics).

The point is, how do you define the groups for which rates are set.  If some
company decided to charge Mormons lower insurance rates there would probably
be a major outcry about religious discrimination, despite the fact that good
Mormons don't drink or smoke and would therefore be better risks for auto,
life and fire insurance.  Is it more reasonable to use sex as the discriminator
or are there better divisions?
