Insurance company offers 16 per cent ‘gender pay gap’ discount to women. Says the only complaints come from MRAs.

It won't be long before all men start 'identifying as women' for insurance purposes. Insurance companies have no idea what a clusterfuck they are setting themselves up for.

They have been screwing men over for years (especially car insurance) but as soon as you make it up to the customer to define their gender, the scam is done.

“Women get it, despite men making noise and thinking that the gender pay gap is a myth, women live it and understand it. Overwhelmingly men are at the higher levels of business, and they need to be constantly vigilant of their embedded biases.”

This may as well translate to, "Men who say the gender pay gap is a myth are wrong because I say so, so there" how in the fuck did this moron become founder of an insurance company? You really can do anything if you follow along with the progressive narrative.

Critics of the gender pay gap argue the differences in average earnings result from life choices made by women, and do not account for occupation, position, education, experience or hours worked. But proponents say there is evidence that women are paid less than men for doing the same jobs.

How the fuck are we still talking about this? People have been making the same perfectly valid points and feminists respond by linking the exact same bullshit, lazily done averages. Instead of taking into account hours worked and experience they just lie again about this horseshit and claim "There you go, same position, they're being discriminated against, Durrrr".

But because discrimination is technically illegal, it’s not usually as overt as an HR directive to pay Steve more than Sandra. During salary negotiations, for example, women are routinely offered a lower base rate salary than men, and then penalised when they try to negotiate — so their male counterparts end up getting more.

Total bollocks yet again, I'll bet these people are doing some dodgy research yet again to come up with these numbers because it has already been recorded a number of times that employers because of feminists like this writer are tripping over themselves to look like the good guys and hire as many women as possible especially in places like the tech industry and so on.

Argh, the arrogance is fucking astounding, I shouldn't be surprised anymore but the levels they take it to is unbelievable in order to push their bullshit narrative.

"Insurance company offers 16 per cent 'white only' discount to whites. Says only complaints come from blacks."

Damn annoying blacks, amirite?

WillMeatLover · 2017-05-31T14:32:42+00:00

So, a 50 year old surgeon earning $500 000 a month will get an insurance cheaper than, say, $1 000 earning garbage man, if she just can prove she has a vagina. Sounds absolutely reasonable. :D

I would never have any customer relationship with a firm that stupid and unfair. But, hey it's their business if the local law doesn't forbid it.

Besides it will get more expensive for the men compared to a fair system, that is, not only compared to the unfair system. That's because somebody must pay for the reduced price and there are only two sexes.

Women tend to cost insurance companies more than men... it's why they tend to be charged more especially later in life.

hackableyou · 2017-05-31T14:39:56+00:00

This is a political move. The company has feminist thinking and of course is also trying to use this to make MRAs look bad even though they don't know for sure if all of the complaints have come from MRAs. More assumptions led to believe are facts.

They say sales have increased 45 percent, probably all from women. It is most likely due to just giving a discount. If they dropped prices to all customers, sales would have probably increased by 90 percent (45 percent from males they are missing).

We still offer services to men, and if men choose to say they identify as a woman, they can get the discount as well.

We still offer services to homosexuals, and if the gays choose to say they identify as straight, they can get the discount as well.

This isn't going to lead to something bad at all. Nope. So sir. Not a chance. /sarcasm

DavidByron2 · 2017-05-31T16:58:53+00:00

Surely this is illegal even in Australia?

But according to Ben Webster, co-founder of Travel With Jane, all men have to do to claim the discount — which is “definitely not a gimmick” — is say they identify as female.

Regardless men need to start doing this and doing it a lot. It would immediately put these bigots on the back foot.

Rasalom72 · 2017-05-31T17:12:22+00:00

Nope... someone needs to get this in writing and then sue. The only way to bring these morons into understanding that IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO DISCRIMINATE...

2017-05-31T14:55:55+00:00

If they had consulted Feminists, they would have been told that it's the white cis men they really want to discriminate against. Only they always earn more than everybody else. Now Feminists should be starting a boycott against the firm, because now a homosexual Muslim dressing up as a cat might have to pay more just because of hiers genitals.

But, to be frank, this intersectionality it's just one of Feminist lies. When push comes to shove there'll be just men and women in their ideology, and it's men they're after.

Can someone find out who their parent company is, or any other companies they own, or who are part of their network?

That way we can threaten them with a social media campaign of boycotting everything to do with them. The power of this is about how much they are worked at what MIGHT happen as a result, so don't worry about how we could organise it right now.

A few emails from a few of us informing them of this intention of a social media announced boycott of all associated companies on the grounds of sexism that will be leaked to the media can work wonders.... Especially if it was one person who dreamed up their original idea to favour women; if that person thinks their job is at risk, you'd be surprised how little it takes to make them rethink things.

EricAllonde · 2017-06-01T02:41:15+00:00

Fuck them and hope they get more coverage so their fucking disgusting business burns out.

But at the end of the day, we're not communists here. They have every right to do this.

disposable_me_0001 · 2017-05-31T18:46:38+00:00

Well, at least its 16% now instead of 23% that was the standard line before. Progress?

atheist4thecause · 2017-05-31T20:23:29+00:00

The more they blame MRA's for complaining, the more they will push the average person to become pro-MRA. There isn't much they could do to help us more than this to be honest.

jeff_the_nurse · 2017-05-31T21:52:31+00:00

What, $200 per month less than a man isn't enough?

2017-05-31T22:42:46+00:00

Here's the parent company/underwriters in Oz...

http://hollard.com.au/

They originated in South Africa, but have branched out globally. They also provide services to brokers, so you might not know you have insurance with them.

“People from the US have threatened us with legal action and all kinds of things,” he said. “They’re not going to get very far."

They can always cancel any insurance they have that are underwritten by Hollard. The thing is with insurance that you can almost always get a better deal from somewhere else.

"Mr Webster said there was no gender pay gap at his company, which employs seven men and five women."

Pay disparity, the most pervasive thing in society that no one engages in. Of course there's no gender pay gap at their company they pay the same. I wonder how he got the men and women at his company to make the same life choices? Sounds fishy to me.

feedmecarrots · 2017-06-01T04:35:21+00:00

This business should be financially astute to know that the pay gap myth is a lie. What worries me is that they are sanctioned by the government to look after other people's money.

2017-06-01T10:34:26+00:00

Shouldn't it be easy to drag them to court and sue them for discimination?

MelkorHimself · 2017-06-01T14:45:18+00:00

“I’m giving away margin to do this,” he said.

You're about to give away a lot more when all your customers identify as women, and since you allow them to do this the closing of your business is a very real possibility.
