Wait? ย Women tend to live longer but get to retire earlier? ย Thatโ€™s the facepalm. What is that all about?!

This is modern "feminism"-all genders are equal, but some of them(female) are more equal.

Highly doubtful. I suspect the exact opposite idea is true. Traditionally, women have been more involved in unpaid domestic work and caregiving, which impacts their ability to contribute to pension systems. The lower retirement age aims to account for these disparities, recognizing the dual roles women often play in the workforce and at home. It's nice they get recognition for giving up their lives. Or do men in Argentina do the majority of unpaid work since they are so concerned with equality?
