Actually, IMO your the one looking at the surface.
Women go in to get a haircut trim and pay $20, man goes and he pays $9.
A man's cotton shirt to a dry cleaner is cheaper than a woman's cotton blouse. Both made of cotton and of equal material. No more expensive chemicals needed.
Why....greed of course....business greed
I suppose it's fair that men pay cheaper for car repair then women do? And why men bus drivers make more than women school bus drivers.
This thread has got to be one of the biggest jokes I've ever read.
BTW there is NO justifiable reasons for a state of inequity to exist :wtf: |
Watch yourself, you're in over your head here....
First, prices must be set based on generalities. If prices were set based on every individual client/customer there would be far too much discression left in the hands of the seller of the goods and far too much time and energy devoted to calculating the price. In order to make the pricing of goods and services easier averages must be used, however to get the most accurate average there are several prices given for various sub-catagories. Again, insurance is a good example.... single men under the age of 25 living in Toronto are the most likely people to be involved in an at-fault accident resulting in property damage and personal injury.... thus they pay more for identical coverage on an identical vehicle then would a 55 year old married woman living in Hearst. Longer hair + more complicated style = more time = more money.
Second, I never said it was fair that anyone be taken advantage of as is the case with women paying more for auto repair. More importantly, this is not a function of acceptable business practices but an unethical person acting in breach of their fiduciary relationship with the customer. That being said, the principle of caveot empter must be considered.
Third, equality is an abnormal and artificial state. Inequality is necessary and natural in most instances. Despite what the bible and conventional phillosophy may tell you not all people are created equally. I cannot give birth to a child, nor can I slam dunk a basketball, nor can I walk across an artic desert without getting snow blindness... no amount of education, training, government subsidies will ever change these realities. I am not equal to all others. The problem that we have encountered in the later half of the last century and continuing on to this century is that our concept of "equality" has shifted. It used to be that "equlity" meant that all people were afforded the same opportunities. This lead to such things as public school and universal health care. Now we view "equality" as all people must arrive at the same end position. The problem with the later is that people cannot end up at the same position because we all go different directions. Moreover, people don't want to end up at the same position. |

I'd say that's looking at the surface.
Using our two examples, not every cotton shirt is the same. A pair of mens boxers are cotton, maybe some womens lingerie are cotton too, but they're not even remotely the same in terms of care required to wash them.
When's the last time a woman could walk into a Salon and walk out in 5 minutes with a 'trim'. They can't, so mine costs $10, theirs is $20, seems fair to me. |

Not to get off topic, but the whole insurance thing and location is a joke really. Someone in Barrie is less likey to get into a car accident then me? I drive maybe 500km/month, where as a friend of mine who commutes from Barrie (which MANY!! do), drives 120km/DAY. Last time I checked, I had to be ON the road driving to get in an accident, somehow I think my chances are far less, yet I pay way more for that very reason.
Absurd. |
FYI, I'm in insurance. Your comment regarding the usage of your vehicle is valid. This is why you have to state how much you drive per year on your application. The mileage you put on per year will effect your rate. However, you must understand that collision is not the only peril you are insureing against (in most cases). If you live in Toronto you are far more likely to have your vehicle vandalized or stolen then if you live in Baden or Lindsey.
Really, insurance rates are based on risk. The bigger risk you are (ie, the more likely you are to cost the insurance company money at some point) the more you are charged. A friend of mine is 21, male, single, living in Toronto, and drives a Hyundai Tiberon (the most stolen vehicle in Canada).... he pays through the teeth. |

FYI...I've taken a cotton shirt that had a name tag of a woman's health club on it. It cost more than the man's same version.
FYI hairdressers aren't dumb. When it comes to justifying the cost, they'll stick in the extra talk time and the fake tossing of hair around to look like more time is spent trimming 1 inch off the bottom.
Does your wife know you think like this...I'm sure she'd have something to say. But then again, people who think this way, often have 2 faces.
Dude...don't make excuses.
Or else you'll risk getting nominated for an award "for the most chauvenistic outlook in need of repair" :rolleyes: |

ok then what are your excuses for situations where men pay more?
It's all or nothing, thats my arguement. You can't have it both ways. Either rates for men AND women are always equal or they are left they way it is.
This has been my point all along. |
