This is indeed crazy... I mean, what about singles? Why on earth should a SINGLE male pay more tax than a SINGLE female? These so-called economists do not even address it. Did they really think they could pull of such a humiliating (to men, esp. single men) proposal, without causing an ENORMOUS protest movement and outrage, perhaps destroying large parts of the economy, or at the very least incurring HUGE costs to society. Some people are really crazy... Now if this idea only applied to MARRIED people (or other people living together), where one of them is a man and the other is a woman. Now that would at least make SOME sense. Still not much of course, but at least SOME sense.
