Switzerland discriminating against men on pension benefits, ECHR finds

Yeah, but the government here in Switzerland will care as little as they did when the ECHR said they were discriminating against men in the case bellow.

Switzerland forces (only) men to do military service. Even disabled men have to do it or pay money instead, while perfectly healthy women don't have to do any of this:

Good to see/hear.

Here's a related reform that raises women's retirement age by 1 year to age 65 to match men's retirement age.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 79%. (I'm a bot)

The Swiss government is discriminating against men in its rules on pension benefits, the European Court of Human Rights has found.

Currently, women whose husbands die are paid a pension for the rest of their lives, while men only receive payments if they have children under 18.

The court found that the role of women in the workplace had changed, and so the discrepancy violated Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights in discriminating against men.

The solution is for all Swiss men to all change their legal sex to female. Like this guy did:

Good... this is a good outcome. The practice WAS discriminatory.
