Why the hardship for women, men have had to work until they were 65 for years, one more year should not hurt anyone seeing that unlike in the past, these days people live for many years after they retire.
I also believe that women once had the choice of retiring at 60 or working on till they were 65

in my experience people tend to moan about stuff that offends or angers them..not when things are ok...
why would women bang about something if its largely a benefit to them?
are you suggesting women complain because things are better for them and demand they are made worse?
i get sick of people making judgements on people for human nature...lets be realistic here...

Joko - if you're post is reffering to mine, then it makes no sense. Why would I moan about something that doesn't bother me?
I'm grateful that women of previous generations worked hard to give me equal opportunities but I expect then to be treated in the same way as a man, i.e. I will have to work for as long as a male. And really by the time I reach 65 there will probably not be a state pension at all so I will have to work until I pop my clogs anyway.

i agree milly.
but also you cant expect them to bang on and claim equality and demand changes for themselves when the changes dont benefit them at all. they just wont. who would. so of course you are only going to hear about the changes that they dont like
people will always complain about things that cause them upheaval..human nature.

I think the reason why it is an extra burden on women is because for a good part of their lives they are expected to do two jobs; be a housewife and mum AND work full time so a bit of extra time off at the end of womens careers is deserved. However; if there is equality in households where men and women share 50/50 the burden of housework and childcare then matching retirement ages makes sense. Unfortunately I doubt this is the case in the majority of households.
