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

We don't have children at home but I work full time and more - because OH is away a lot, the chores still have to be done so we finish work then come home and do another halfday in the house. Not complaining but that's how it is.
I wouldn't mind about working until I am 65 if I hadn't already worked a 5 day week for 40 years whilst also doing the shopping, cooking, cleaning, child care, christmases, decorating, gardening, washing, ironing, sewing, mending, etc etc, if I had spenr 40 years working a 5 day week and come home to a cooked meal, the TV remote and an armchair every night I would be fine with it,
