If even if they weren't informed of the decision, they still shouldn't get out of it due to their gender.

Equality looks like oppression from a position of privilege (like these women).

I agree with the feminists. Having equal pension age is sexist. It should be raised above men's. There should be equal pension period. Take the average lifespan of men and women and subtract a constant number (the duration for which you will be paid pension) from each. That's the age at which pension payments should start.

Given that women live longer than men, you'll end up with the female pension age greater than the male.

Sounds unfair? Welcome to the world.

Wait the title sounds like there's legit discrimination goin on rn and the court just said no to equalize it. I'm reading this wrong, right?

To those who have enjoyed privilege equality often feels like discrimination.

Shouldn't women retire later than men since they live longer on average?

Earlier retirement for women was always nonsense. There was nothing to justify it, in fact if anything the evidence pointed to allowing men to retire at an earlier age because men's life expectancy is lower than women. So until recently not only did women retire earlier but they got to enjoy their retirement longer. Plus they received the benefits of being a pensioner earlier too like discounts, free bus pass etc.

The equalisation of pension ages had nothing to do with gender equality and was entirely due to reducing costs. Should have happened years ago.

I'm in my mid 50's by my age my mother had already retired as my father was significantly older than her and when he retired she decided she hated working anyway and retired too living off my father's pensions until her's paid out. Living the dream.

This was on the radio all day yesterday. There's certain cases where I start to feel sorry for women that are forced to work hard jobs until mid 60s rather than 60.

Then i realise men have been doing this for years already. A lot of these women will have already had large periods of their lives not working ie raising a family or living off the mans wage before it was normal for both husband and wife to work.

The excuses i heard are that women have elderly relatives and grandchildren to look after. Well boohoo, so do the men.

My mum is in a position where this affects her, but she started planning for it several years ago when it was started to be talked about and she's now in an OK position for it

with more women in the work force this was unavoidable.The state will not loose money for the women to stay at home while receiving pension earlier.With more demands from welfare state the government budget is shrinking.This is not about equality is about money.I think feminism is about money.

4million (women) x 50000 pounds is a lot of money.

I had a feeling they would try to use the gender pay gap myth to justify the change being sexist and I was right.

Campaigners argue that women born during the 1950s took time out of work to care for children, were paid less than men and could not save as much in occupational pensions, so the change had hit them harder.

The ONLY thing I will agree with them on is they were not officially notified of the change outside of some advertisements it sounds like, which with a change like this seems insane. It's kind of a big change that impacts retirement plans and they said they didn't need to notify anyone? I support the change but it was kind of a dick move to not send letters out.

From the article, "I believe in equality. I believe we should work the same as men but the way it was done was wrong. They threw equality upon us when we were never equal."

Lazy as hell... leaving work early, taking long lunches, wanting to retire early... parasites
