Newfoundland has done something I thought would never happen: ended sex discrimination against men in car insurance.

Don’t get me wrong: I think this law is a mistake. But it is refreshing to see a government act against sex discrimination when the historic discrimination has been against men, not women.
But then, from Italy, the same day, a story that seems to take discrimination against men to new heights: “Impotent man must pay compensation to his ex-wife.”

This might make sense But let’s change the sexes involved: can we imagine any court requiring a women to pay compensation because she did not tell her husband she was frigid or unable to have children?
