The one show
Just had a thing saying that women's pensions are much lower than men's and double the amount of women as men have no pension provision whatsoever.
Report started by saying about how the old idea that women aren't any good with money (not heard that one but anyway) isn't true but now we've seemingly got equality, how is this happening?
Aha, I thought, they will obviously talk about
- Women doing lower paid work than men in general
- The gender pay gap (different money for same work)
- The hammering to women's pensions and earning potential if they have children and take more than 3 seconds out of work
- The fact that until recently women usually didn't qualify for a full state pension because of not enough NI cont due to time out raising children
Did they talk about that? Oh no. First they said that women only want to spend money on things that are tangible. So pensions are meaningless to them.
Then I missed two mins while I looked at a gossip thread 
so they may have said all the above in that section... but... I doubt it as when I tuned back in they were talking about women shopping excessively to fill emotional voids in their lives, then they talked about women having lots of debt due to frivolous shopping, then they rounded it up by saying that whether the "purses were prada or gucci, women had to remember they held the strings".
How will we ever get anywhere, when lazy gender stereotypes are propogated in this way, and the real deep problems are not even mentioned???
