barely a day goes by without some governemtn minister whingin about pay for women, or coming up with some inflacted pay gap figures.

The real elephant in the room would be really obvious and serious issues that no one ever talks about nor addresses, for example the fact that men have to wait five years longer to actually be able to get their state pension, thus we're paying billions and billions more to women, and giving them a much better reitrement.

On top of that men of course die younger (many because they've worked too many hours for too long), so the actually inequality in amount paid out is absolutely immense.

Thsi is real genuine sex discrimiantion. There's no doubt or debate to be had and there's no complex array of factor involved. it si plain and simple state sponsored sex discrimination and it's incredible that it still exists in the 21st century.
