Discrimination on the grounds of Gender

[rustylady]

Our local Council allows a 50% discount to women aged 60 or over and to men aged 65 or over.

What is the discount for? Just pure nosiness, but I agree there should be no gender discrimination.

just for being old. I suppose the idea is that pensioners have less available noney

Sorry, I realise the discount is for being old, I meant to ask what is discounted. Have I made that any clearer or not. Forgive me I am old (63).

The gender pay gap in the UK is still the worst across the EU across a female's working life; so the council are obviously trying to address that by giving women a discount.

These things do go in both directions, when getting a pension a man gets more as he doesn't live aslong as a woman (not for much longer mind). I can understand this, women are very good communicators so much so that their nagging has taken years of their husbands life expectancy.

Oldham gives a 50% discount on area of plot for over 65s. 10p a m2 rather than 20p.
It's up to us as a group what we set the membership fee at that is on top of that.

The discount is to pensioners, surely?

Whether you're male or female (or in-between), you only get the discount if you're a pensioner.

women ... their nagging has taken years of their husbands life expectancy.

If you ask a man to do something he doesn't want to do, it's nagging. Apparently.

Clear as dish water . It's the rent that is discounted. Now I don't know if I've cleared that up or not

Presume you mean plot rent?

As to your question a clear case of misandry if I ever heard of one.

However I like the others don't think the chaps rent will come down, the ladies will just rise. Take car insurance as an example.

My wife has never ever nagged me.

She asks you all to believe that I am telling the truth and she reads my posts.

I don't think it's hatred or dislike of boys - if the women have to retire earlier and thus earn less; then surely it's only right to reduce the rent. If it was misandry then surely all women would get a discount.

Last December there was an EU ruling that banned insurers from discriminating between men and women drivers policy premiums,so there is deffo a precedent for parity
