Britain did until quite recently. Then a group of men went to court, I think hoping to get the men’s age lowered to that of women. But of course the government raised the women’s age to that of men.

You say that as if it was the men’s fault for trying to get equal treatment. Clearly you have no idea how the legal system works.

I don’t see how you got that from what I said.

The “of course” makes it clear you dislike the outcome. The long mention of the men who in your eyes “caused” this also makes it pretty obvious what your stance is about this and who you want to be the scapegoat in the discussion.

Because women on average live longer. Strange isn’t it.

Why would that mean they get to retire earlier then?
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Yeah, this person’s logic makes no sense. This is a solid argument for men retiring earlier.
Personally, I’d say it’s probably best if it’s just the same for everyone.

Maybe opposite? Maybe women live lomger because they retire earlier?
FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 months ago
No because women also live longer in countries that do not do this.

it’s the same in many European countries

Yeap, women retire at 60 and men retire at 65.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Yeah, this seems backwards… Women tend to love longer than men.

I think a better word might be needed, to be honest.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
