Men are required to pay more money for car insurance, simply for being male. The excuse that insurance companies use is that they rely on "data collected for decades" that shows that male drivers get into more accidents. However, what they do not take into account is that men on average drive more miles than women. The bottom line is that men pay more for car insurance because they are men. If this situation was reversed, feminists would be outraged, protesting that you shouldn't lump all women into one category. Well, the door swings both ways.
In the United States, men are required to sign up for selective service at the age of 18, or face severe consequences. Women do not have this requirement. What consequences, you ask?
- A man who fails to register may be fined $250,000 and/or a term of up to five years in prison.
- Men born after December 31, 1959, who aren't registered with selective service won't qualify for federal student loans or grant programs. They also don't qualify for federal job training.
- Men who fail to register for selective service are not eligible for jobs in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government or the Postal Service
- Certain states may have additional penalties for not registering
Since we are on this topic, let's talk a little military.

- In the Korean War, 33,686 men were killed in combat.
- In the Vietnam War, 58,300 men were killed, 1,641 are MIA, and 153,303 were wounded in combat.
- Between 2003 and 2008, men made up 97.68% of military deaths in Iraq
In the United States, of those who died by suicide in 2011, 78.5% were male.

Oh, and I almost forgot: LONG LIVE THE IMAGINARY PATRIARCHY!
