I suspect they will still be available on TPB and friends

Women get pregnant more than men, but get charged the same medical insurance rates. Women take maternity leave more than men, but legally you cannot pay women less. How come in scenarios where women cost more, it is mandated that men and women must pay the same, but not in cases where men cost more?

Women may get pregnant more, but iirc men have higher mortality rates at all stages of life - I'd also guess way more accidents from risky behavior work related or otherwise. Women also earn less money, and most consumer price discrimination seems to target them (pink shirts cost more than blue shirts) so maybe it sorta works out?

A male pretending to be a female has an edge over males,females and females pretending to be male when applying for jobs.. Atleast in an unscientific study by interviewing.io

How is it splitting the difference when the choices are

1) men pay more

or

2) men and women pay the same

?

> And given the city's population and usage of plastic, the chokes are quite severe during the monsoon (rainy season) when it rains heavily

Didnt the city even flood 2-3 days after the ban, when the govt was in full enforcement mode?

> In that point of view, it seems a rather unfair complaint

Regulations arent necessarily designed to be "fair" though.. if GDPR is written in a way that manufacturers need to recall all stock and update phones, its cost is part of GDPR compliance and a fair tradeoff for its benefits as per EU citizens

Why even support EU users though with all the GDPR overhead? Unless you are a multinational who doesnt care about GDPR overheads, best not to target the EU market isnt it?

I'm in Brussels, right in the belly of the beast!

Why doesnt EU instead implement a continent wide firewall and allow access to only GDPR compliant sites

There are a bunch of subsidies\welfare programs available for female children alone... Its much cheaper to raise a female child than to raise a male child, and dowry is no longer mandatory, it largely comes into play when you're trying to marry up (like say the groom earns 5-10x the wife's salary)

In any sensible country such programs would be seen as unconstitutional most certainly in USA. But of course in India sectarian discriminatory laws is a norm. In India if you rape a brahmin child you get N years in prison. If you rape a child from prescribe list of castes you get N+3 years in jail.

> like say the groom earns 5-10x the wife's salary Correct and all girls pay this dowry willingly. No one has forced them to marry up. They can marry equal or below.
