How is what you describe sexist? From your perspective, what would be a non-sexist way of paying out social security?
- jeremyt 11y agoYou fund your own personal social security account.
- aianus 11y ago> what would be a non-sexist way of paying out social security? Increase the payroll deductions for women seeing as how they live longer, same way my car insurance costs more than if I were a woman.
- boxy310 11y agoWomen also tend to earn less money, being dependent on their husband's income for much of their working-life. The SSA has actually studied this issue, and women tend to be much more likely to exhaust all other forms of retirement savings and subsist exclusively on Social Security benefits: http://www.ssa.gov/history/reports/women.html http://www.ssa.gov/history/reports/women.html

- AnimalMuppet 11y agoYour car insurance would cost more if you were a woman? Citation needed. My impression is that most car insurance costs more for a man, because men tend to be more aggressive behind the wheel, and that translates into a higher incidence of accidents. At least, that's certainly the case for young drivers. I attempted to prove it with a quick quote from Progressive, but they want a real name so they can check credit history, and I wasn't willing to give it to them. So I can't (easily and quickly) prove that you're wrong, but I'd like to hear why you think you're right.
- jff 11y ago> my car insurance costs more than if I were a woman. You missed a very important word.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoAh, I see. My error.
