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.

Because women on average live longer. Strange isn't it.
Why would that mean they get to retire earlier then?
Yeah, this person's logic makes no sense. This is a solid argument for men retiring earlier.
Personally, I'd say it's probably best if it's just the same for everyone.

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.

For clarification I am against Jordan Peterson and the ilk but equal opportunity y'all.
What does the first part add to your statement? Is that his selling point?
Looks like some weird hoop thinking advocating men's rights (equal retirement age) is only done by Petersen and other nutcases
To be fair, the men's rights movement is absolutely characterized as alt-right by the mainstream media. People tend to assume all sorts of things about you when you bring up any kind of men's issue. Most people (including other men) have difficulty empathizing with grown men, and thus they subconsciously expect that men's advocates are motivated by something else, such as misogyny. It's hard to move past our biological and cultural tendencies and view men as vulnerable and in need of support.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.

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!

It's the Daily Mail, it's most likely total fiction as they do this all the time.
Not this time, it's real. Source: am argentine
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.

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 ~~man~~ woman!
