Been done to death that argument.

Sheilas wheels etc offer lower premiums for women because statistically women cause and get involved in fewer accidents. All insurance companies actually quote women drivers lower than same age etc males. Its a marketing ploy is all.

If a man rings up and asks for a quote they transfer you to another part of their company, they technically dont refuse to insure males.

Most Barber and hairdressers are unisex hair salons in the UK, if a shop advertises itself as a barber shop its actually guiding the customer not to go in and ask for layered and coloured styles. Again they arent refusing opn the grounds of sex rather staff ability. Many women you know want a short back and sides or flattop and slopwalls?
