Maybe you should read OP's comments over at 2xc.

It's all about being a victim

My comment within the link:

Ladies, does this look like someone looking for a problem here? At first I read, great, we're breaching that gap so that men and women live longer, and more equal-length lives. But then the article goes, but that's bad for women. Whut? No.

Also, it's great for us straight ladies, because that means that our partner is living longer (and it's quite possible that he's a couple years older than us anyways) meaning that he'll be in our lives longer.

I don't have a problem with op's comment but that doesn't mean it isn't a problem. The article itself, or whatever you want to call it, makes no sense in it's argument. But this isn't a new topic and others have been posted. The problem is that the vast majority of things are paid for by men. Social security for example is subsidized by men who work longer, pay more into it and die earlier. If men were to collect the full, or at the very least more of the money they paid into it, we would have to reform social security and poverty for women beyond the retirement age would increase drastically.

So it's more of a social issue. What happens when society is built on supporting the elderly, and now those who were supporting said elderly are cashing out their chips? The elderly (aka old women) are going to be screwed. And given the unemployment, underemployment rate for current people under 30, raising taxes won't help a god damned bit.

Yeah we should be commending 2xc for realizing the stupidity of that article, and perhaps posting the article for a public ripping instead.

Reading the comments on that article is very therapeutic by the way, I suggest everyone do it.

As much as I loathe XX, you realize that in that case they were actually pointing out how silly it was? (it was also downvoted into oblivion, but that is why I loathe XX - everything there boils down to 'women good, men bad')

You don't understand. Women are the victims when their men die earlier than them. Do you know how hard it is to find a new man at 81 years old?
