Pension age for women to finally be EQUAL to that of men.

bitter_truth_ · 2018-11-06T11:56:42+00:00

That's horseshit, women on average live longer than men so they should be able to retire earlier. Wait a second.

Women Against State Pension Age Inequality (WASPI) said they would continue their campaign to win compensation for those who were unaware that their state pension age was going to rise. "Equalisation is not just about the age you reach retirement, but also your ability to generate a full state pension entitlement, and pay into a private pension, to have any hope of security in retirement," said Debbie de Spon, a spokesperson for WASPI.

If you think about it they already have. By raising the pension age that means that there are five more years that women can work and the last years of your working life are usually your highest paid therefore this should help even out for the women who will be working until 65 instead of 60.

This is the part of the article I don't understand:

"Women in their 50s and older have lost out most, but younger women face penalties too, as all pensions - state, workplace and private pensions - discriminate against women," she said.

Then they never say what exactly all these pensions do to discriminate. For fucks sake I am a woman, and I have a pension, and I live in the UK and I am really not seeing how its any different to the pensions my male colleagues have.

Actually men should get it earlier, due to their lower life expectancy.

Metalageddon · 2018-11-06T13:41:10+00:00

But... They explained it all.

women tend to work lower paying and part time jobs, contributing less to the national fund

That's... That's why. The reason is right fucking there. You don't deserve more for doing less.

Anyways, pass denied. It's equal, which is more fair than it was, but it's not truly fair, though I'm a guy, so I'm used to dealing with the unfair. It's a good step in the right direction.

KindaCrypto · 2018-11-06T07:48:55+00:00

Others have warned that even though their state pension ages may now be the same, men and women are still far from equal when it comes to pensions. Figures show that in 2017 the average woman's state pension was worth £126 a week, compared with the average man's at £154.

Ok, but you just said that women are expected to live three years longer than men.

A girl born in 1951 had a life expectancy of 82 years. A girl born today can expect to reach the age of 93. Over the same period, boys' life expectancy has increased from 77 years to 90.

So is it really??

manmikey · 2018-11-06T16:14:07+00:00

This is the Tennis model of equality , Women do less work than the men but expect the same pay, resulting in them actually earning a higher hourly rate, still its equality and all that

2018-11-06T15:27:01+00:00

Oh look, another right women had and men didn't that they never talk about.

SleepDeprivedUserUK · 2018-11-06T07:30:50+00:00

Seems like the pension age for both genders are going to be equal now :)

Here's hoping this is the "right kind" of equality 😂

/r/MensRights/comments/9tuztv/so_we_uk_have_heard_a_fair_bit_about_pensions_and

More men work full time, Men work more hours, in higher paying jobs. Men work more overtime and unsociable hours. Workplace fatalities are almost an entirely male phenomena, and life expectancy is lower.

Women: work part time, work in lower paid professions, take more time off, work far less overtime, therefore pay less taxes and live longer. So perhaps the WASPIs (Women Against State Pension Inequality) who protested this week should wind their necks in; it seems women aren't paying their fair share, and expect the taxpayer to subsidise them. For there to be 'equality', women would need to work more, pay more taxes, retire later

djsoulman · 2018-11-06T17:01:18+00:00

I'm so tired of the BBC and their stealthy Feminist propaganda. It used to be the bastion of impartiality; now its gone to shit.

Pibe_g · 2018-11-06T12:06:29+00:00

That is a right step towards equality, but as the article says: "critics say that women are still a long way from pension equality, as the amount they typically receive is lower."
We all should be paid more with longer life expectancy.

Miasmata · 2018-11-06T18:02:01+00:00

It doesn't matter anyway, by the time I'm able to retire the age will probably be like 95 and I'll already be dead

maximus_galt · 2018-11-06T18:40:45+00:00

TIL that paying people different salaries for different jobs is "discrimination".

Vlad_the_imp_hailer · 2018-11-06T11:31:07+00:00

A step in the right direction. But really women don’t contribute to society as much as men, and men die sooner, so men should be able to retire earlier.

Edit: Stupid autocorrect...

Azooth · 2018-11-06T12:16:35+00:00

The question is, will the differential in life expectancy change due to this and other factors? Before when men were the primary breadwinners and retiring later you could argue they perhaps worked harder (maybe not true in some cases but probably true in others), now there's no distinction will we see the average life expectancy equal out over time?

h4zardz · 2018-11-07T10:11:22+00:00

this doesn't even make sense in fact its actually unfair according to social justice standards to have men retire older then women since women on average live longer 7 or more years!. talk about life expectancy discrimination women.

Itsbilloreilly · 2018-11-06T16:26:52+00:00

Oh a progressive new bill. I bet this isn't in the US

Checks

Yep

Sorry forgot to mention I’m Jewish and your characterizations are disgusting

MussieGangEnrichment · 2018-11-06T19:56:25+00:00

OK, when do they need to sign up for government slavery to be allowed to vote?

courtnovo · 2018-11-06T20:07:54+00:00

Wait my retirement age was different then mens? That's bullshit, if I'm equal, I want to be equal all around. Dont cater to me because im a "frail, weak woman".

2018-11-07T05:08:08+00:00

nice

AdrianWerner · 2018-11-10T06:41:01+00:00

This is actually not just right, but also good for women themselves. Earlier retirement age coupled with longer predicted lifespans mean far lower retirement pensions.

Combatpete · 2018-11-13T13:11:23+00:00

haaaaaaahahahahahahahhahahaahaha

bumblebritches57 · 2018-11-21T03:38:34+00:00

I was confused until I saw "uk" then it all made sense.

Of course their laws are backwards.

umaywellsaythat · 2018-11-06T20:58:29+00:00

Lot of people in this thread are saying that women should actually retire later, since they pay lower taxes, work less etc.

How about I, an IT guy get to retire 5 years before you do, cause I earn more, and therefore pay more taxes? The only equality is equality, compensating for groups only ruins it for outliers, like women, who work a lot more then you do.

This is exactly as hypocritical as the feminazis you bitch about

ATReade · 2018-11-07T00:28:54+00:00

I dont give a fuck about some stupid old cunts who fucked the whole economy and country up, what about our generation (30s) who have to pay their debts for the rest of our lives and probably wont ever get a state pension and certainly cant Save privately because its so expensive just to live. The older generation should work till their dead to pay off a generation off easy living and constant fuck ups due to their greed.

Pension age for women to finally be EQUAL to that of men.
