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 the scapegoat to be in the discussion.

The "of course" makes it clear you dislike the outcome

Only inasmuch as a desirable outcome would have been the lowering of the age of retirement for men to either that of women or meeting both on the middle. The issue is that the government being the government took it as an excuse to effectively cut welfare.

The long mention of the men who in your eyes "caused" this

To be honest it probably just brought it on sooner. The government would have found it as excuse to raise the retirement age without it being highlighted to them.

also makes it pretty obvious what your stance is about this and who you want the scapegoat to be in the discussion.

No, still don't see it.

Wow that's some projection. You are reading deeply between the lines to find your take on that one.

I immediately got it as "why would the people in power ever make it easier for those not" but hey why bother with nuanced takes when the Internet will allow you to be angry at your specific beliefs as if they are the only truth, right?
