TLDR version- men get better annuity rates than women, because they don't live as long. Incidentally, smokers can also get better rates from some providers, for the same reasons.
Curiously, you can't get better rates for being black- even though black people tend to have shorter life expectancies. Because that is wrong and bad, or something.
Of course, the flipside of all these cases tends to apply when looking at premiums for life insurance. Anyway, the ECJ is getting all shouty about it- is that justified, or are they just being tossers?
