That is why I put it in quotes. They "can but wont" which translates to "We can't because insurance for men costs more because of the statistics". Given that rule of thumb they will increase females premiums.

Not only have I worked for insurance companies, but if I was one, this is exactly what I would do if I was told everyone had to be treated equally.
