Males being in more accidents is too simplistic to charge higher rates for insurance.
Would you say it's 50/50 for males and females being behind a wheel? I know at least where I live I spent a lot of time on the QE2 and I notice far more male drivers than female drivers. Even when there is a male and female in the car, it is usually the male driving. I don't have any hard evidence to back that up, it's just what I notice.
So, I'd be more interested to understand the accidents per 20,000km driven for each sex as opposed to just accidents per licensed driver.
Doing some Google searching seems.to suggest that although males are in more vehicle crashes, they are also driving approximately 40% more than males. One study even suggested females are in more accidents when mileage is taken into the equation.
Of course, that's internet research so the legitimacy of some of the sites I was reading isn't exactly known.

Men will simply dominate at every sport and it will be discriminatory to have a separate league or competition by gender.

It's not such a bad thing to recognize or celebrate our differences as males or females. It's possible to do this without being discriminatory.
