automobile insurance pricing

I don't believe the pricing difference between men and woman is actually price discrimination, rather it is due to pricing two different levels of risk. Are women more price sensitive towards insurance premiums than men especially in areas where insurance is required?

Life insurance premiums are also priced similarly where women get a better rate than men because statistically, women carry a lower risk of triggering a payout. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Didacticeructation (talk • contribs) 16:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

That is correct. I removed the "examples" of automobile insurance and dry cleaning as they can only serve to confuse the reader.

Those are all examples of price discrimination and so were the examples you deleted, so I added them back,. --I am One of Many (talk) 20:17, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
