So this was something I found to be ironic in class when we talked about the idea that due to the fact that women have children then they are charged a higher insurance; however medically we have better health compared to men and men are more likely to have a heart attach due to their work enviornment. So I guess the solution would be to charge the women the higher insurance until they cant have children anymore and then when the men hit the target age for stress related illnesses then charge them; whatever the case I found it to be completly unfair to try and justify all of these rules against women just becuase they may be a mother on day.

It may be silly, but no one is trying to change it. Everyone seems to be comfortable with the way things are. Men may be more likely to have a heartattack, but women are more likely to quit, are more injury prone and/or go on leaves of absence. Men will work and do almost anything to provide for their family. Men are not allowed to call in as much, and will get fired quicker for less mistakes. Women do get a lot of breaks, and i have experienced women calling in and getting away with more for women related issues. As far as insurance, its a business. Employers are going to do what it takes to keep cost down for them. If they have a more men filled work environment, then women cant complain. Be the solution to the problem.
