Republicans: They're degenerates coming for our children!
This guy: To hell with that, I'm coming for your retirement benefits.
Why tf does Argentina let women retire earlier???
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.
Yeap, women retire at 60 and men retire at 65.
it's the same in many European countries
Yeah, this seems backwards... Women tend to live longer than men.
X for doubt as this comes from the daily Hail

This one is real.

It may be real, but I'm finding a Russian nesting doll's worth of references to other sites when I try to find more info. The closest I can get is a blurb on this website, which claims to get its info from an AFP article it doesn't link to.

People gonna make this a trans thing and not a gender equality one... in most things women get the shitty treatment but with retirement and mental health its men
And office clothing in summer

i'm going to make it both. we really do need to advance women's equality before we let men take their identities in order to dilute the few offsets women have had legislated for them.
just like how many affirmative action band-aids are being ripped off before poc have actually gotten equal footing in society, we are pushing women's advances backwards by pretending that we live in an equal society and allowing men to take advantage of the mechanisms meant to promote equality.
For clarification I am against Jordan Peterson and the ilk but equal opportunity y'all.
Because I've been conditioned to never question laws, and never learned to mentally deal with contradictions in society I'm mad at the pronouns now! Those darn pronouns!
I don't use pronouns and I don't think you or they should either.
It's the Daily Mail, it's most likely total fiction as they do this all the time.

So, obviously, people don't generally change their legal gender for an advantage somewhere. But if they do, that's a pretty good sign, not that it's too easy to change your gender, but that there's a gender bias in the law.
So arguably, the easier it is to change your legal gender, the less of a problem gender-based affirmative action is. Conservatives must love this! End liberal overreach in one easy step!
I agree. The Daily Mail no doubt uses this as a way to say “legally changing your gender should be harder”, but that’s fixing the wrong problem. Gender fluidity isn’t the problem, gender inequality is.
Gender should be as unimportant as eye color in most things in life. If your system breaks from someone changing their gender, you need to fix your system.
Thing is, There are less women in STEM, there are less women in management position etc. Therefor, either women are less interested/worse at these things (which is the conservative view) or society itself treats women differently than men. The rational behind affirmative action and programs geared towards women isn't that women are less skilled and therefore need more help, rather that society makes it harder for a woman achieve the same as a similarly skilled man. By treating women differently we can help level the playing field.
Also, making gender "as unimportant as eye color in most things in life" is a completely unrealistic goal in the near future even in the most liberal countries in the world. We can (and do) strive to reach it, but that's not a viable solution for issues we have right now.
And you know what? Legally changing your gender SHOULD be harder than filling a form. Someone who's transgender should have no problem showing that's what they are. The thing is to make sure the legal process is done respectfully, without making the person feel like they're being interrogated.
So arguably, the easier it is to change your legal gender, the less of a problem gender-based affirmative action is.
Gender-based public sector affirmative action exists to counterbalance discrimination in the private sector. I would argue that becoming trans to undermine gender-AA is penny wise and pound foolish, unless you were already tending towards that inclination.
But what I'm seeing here is "I'm changing my gender but only for the purposes of gaming the system, then I expect you to recognize me as my original gender again". And that's on par with carrying a pair of crutches in your trunk so you can park in handicapped spaces.
You don't really want to take on the burden of being recognized as a woman. You just want to pocket a benefit in the public sector and then go back to your privileged position in the private sector.
Take a gender at this*

No, it's a play on words as is.
Shut up, nerd lol
Feminism means gender equality people.
Feminism means gender goes into the shredder. No gender. FUCK gender, punk ass removed ass social construct. Burn it at the stake!
Note: many feminists may or may not disagree
Lmao what?
You want a new word for your thing.
Side note: Violence and extremism isn't helpful - attitudes like yours are far more effective at promoting reactive forces like trump than any number of maga hats. It's sad to see the left obliviously acting as a driving force for the far right. Perhaps look up how people change opinions if you're serious?
Modern problems require modern solutions
I had a nephew that found out he could get a $500 bursary for trade school as a male, or $5000 as a female. A trip down to the DMV netted him (her) $4500.
Can't say I wasn't amused.
Smart
manwoman!Well why not I guess
because laws like this were made to offset the patriarchal dominance of a society shaped by men for centuries. it's unfair to women to let men just take those offsets away from them and it's the elephant in the room that nobody wants to address as they cheer for trans-women's rights.
God damn legend status

Equality, aint it great?
identify as tomboy lesbian woman who was born biologically a male so you get to keep your lifestyle, your wife, and your cock.
can i get two cocks
One cook is too expensive, wages for two require exceptional qualifications
Ah, good source, thanks! That weighs up everything!
Look in this thread: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/12482757
Cool
Good
Dumb idea: it feels bad being second class in things like retirement, empathy, and mental health, etc., right guys?
Well, that's how our sisters on the other side feel about literally everything else. If we want to fight so hard for the few things us men lack, let's use that same energy to fight for women too.
