Should we Treat Women as Equals to Men?

Over the last few years we are constantly being reminded that men and women should be treated as equals. We are supposed to pay women at the same rate as men, offer the same employment benefits etc.

The retirement age for women in the UK is slowly rising to 65 to match that of men, and then onward and upward until it hits the new ceiling proposed for everyone to retire at.

If not treating women as equal to men is wrong, then not treating men as not equal to women should equally be wrong!

Women, who are 60 this year, retire and get a state pension, but if you’re a man you have to wait another five years!

So much for being equal!
