But they’re making a very disingenuous and senseless argument-what even does the “execution “ of it mean? They say it’s unfair that they’ll have to wait longer than expected- too bad
“Those with privilege, losing it feels like oppression.” It was overdue. How else can the age by raised?
Sounds suspect. In fact, it sounds like "we'd love you to have a men's movement, just not like this!" I.e. one that counters feminist entitlement.
The early pension age isn’t a deserved entitlement, it’s something that has been unfair for decades. Maybe in the 50s society was “like that”, but not now
One of the problems I've heard is that their pensions now 'won't be right'- that they've paid in more than they should because they now retire later
I don't think that should stop it being changed but thats potentially a legitimate concern
Well that's just awful. Having too much money like that. Whatever will they do.
Lol
I think its meaning that yes they'll retire later but still get the same retirement payment even though they paid more into it than men because of the life expectancy gap? Something along those lines. I'll dig up an explanation...
Well how about a refund?
Funnily enough I heard plenty of the argument that I just mentioned a few years back but I can't find anything now. Mmm. The only legitimate argument I can see in current arguments is that women weren't given proper notice of the change and have failed to make proper financial planning as a result, and knowing how extremely reliable the government is, is probably true to an extent. The number of articles saying that its unfair because men generally get higher pensions (because they pay more into them!!!) Is ridiculous though
Wow. That's like something a small child would say.
Then again, they cite the pay gap I bet - which is literally the same thing.
Some say 'pay gap for women continues after retirement' so yep
*The core fundamental theory of feminism is the patriarchy theory
No, it is advocating for gender equality*
Patriarchy theory is a secondary element
*and reduces men and women into binaries of oppressor and oppressed respectively.*
Very few feminists I have met actually do this
Vast majority do not
---------
*Patriarchy theory is the theory which they analyze the world, in order to advacate for women's rights*
A theory, one that is not nessecary and that not every feminist uses.
*Patriarchy theory essentially reduces humans into binaries*
I think you need to read up on what patriarchy theory actually is. It is flawed, yes, but it is not the root of all evil
*And almost every feminist believes in it.*
Problem is, there are many different strains of the theory.
There maybe different strains of feminism.
Almost all feminist social analysis is atleast in part based on patriarchy theory. Including the Duluth's model.
But again, which patriarchy theory? Define the one you refer to
Men exercising control over women due to their gender privilege... Which is the basis of Ellen pence's formulation of Duluth's model
That is very rarely used as a definition of Patriarchy Theory.
There are far more common uses
It's the most widely used in feminist theory.
Maybe laymans use it less
It is not the most widely used.
Then why is Duluth's model based on it
Do feminists believe in patriarchy theory, yes or no
I dunno. The duluth model is not the be all and end all of feminist theory, despite what so many think
Check the wiki. You'll find the instances of the uses of patriarchy theory
Which wiki?
It's a feminist formulation
Any wiki
How about Geek Feminism's wiki?
"the system of gender-based hierarchy in society which assigns most power to men, and assigns higher value to men, maleness, and "masculine traits"."
Fits pretty well with most gender theories
(note how men's issues is not included in the higher value list)
This definition is reductionist as the rest
Power is not limited to the male gender
"most"
Male power occurred due to a variety of reasons
