"They argued the changes were discrimination, but judges disagreed."

The pension age was raised in line with mens. As in, they're exactly the same. What the fuck? How is that discrimination?

How quickly they understand when the roles are reversed or become equal.

Funny how they hadn't been fighting for the men's age to be reduced. Feminism is for men too my arse

This woman's acting like she's one of those poor children in deep Africa, with no water, food, electricity etc. In her eyes, that pension would have allowed her to eat food and take baths. Without that pension, she's never eaten, bathed, showered or been warm in her home.

Silly cow

I have to go lookup the argument the defense made as to how it's discrimination for them to receive, what men receive, for the same amount of work because I love to laugh.

"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

It's tough to lose your privilege

They have now been given the opportunity to work for another five years, which should (but I don't know the UK Pension system) both, allow them a chance to earn a higher income than would be payable under their Pension at 60, as well as increase the amount they would be eligible for when they retire at age 65.

I see this as an economic move on the part of the Government in the UK, instead of a push for equality.

Statistically, people that retire before 65 tend to live longer. Therefore, it would be either lower the retirement age for men, or raise it for women.

"We can take this, we've got broad shoulders."

But they can't take exactly the same conditions that men endure.

I've never understood this logic, women live, on average, 5 years longer than men, retired 5 years earlier than men, and therefore paid less into the state pension pot than men, but their the ones being discriminated against?
