This story from the newsfeeds is interesting. A Spanish judge has ruled that a driving school which charges men about 20% less than women for a driving course is not guilty of discrimination.
Apparently, the school argued that men take an average of five lessons less than women to learn to drive, so the cost of the course reflects that difference. Women are charged $1,159, whereas the men pay $907. The judge agreed, and is quoted:
…every single year, men displayed greater dexterity and better open road skills [than women drivers]
It’s an admirable display of logic – but I wouldn’t get too comfy if I were the school in question, especially if Brussels gets wind of it.
