So ..... would it be different if a woman used several punctuation marks??????

Hmmmmm!!!!!!

No.
A single punctuation mark is sufficient.

On the subject of sexual discrimination, I was watching Celebrity Masterchef last night and Louise Minchin remarked along the lines that she had to do well as she was the last woman in the competition.

Why?
I'd not noticed that.
What difference did it make?
None at all.
Sometimes, women don't do themselves any favours at all.

You are absolutely right there.

Women can do a better job of putting themselves down than men ever could.

Especially the 'underpants' one.

And some don't need any help in painting themselves as victims either.
Or embellishing their situation to get support.

I think it was well known that the "Married Woman's Stamp" wouldn't pay out for a pension in your own right. Many women (including my mother) chose to pay it because they wanted the money in their pocket at the time, which is fair enough, however, choices have consequences.

Female born January 1950 here, so one of the last to get my SRP at 60.

I always knew that paying the Married Womens' Stamp would not entitle me to a Pension in my own right, and therefore paid the Full amount.

I find it difficult to believe that over a full working life, people can say they never, ever knew.

Compo culture is older and more deep seated than many people realise maybe?

This highlights the ridiculous unfairness and inconsistency of this whole sorry saga.

Thank goodness the MP Vara is now history.

Ah, repeating that old Guardian article featuring a woman who lied to both the Guardian and in her written evidence submission to Parliament.

That Guardian story has been discussed previously by you when you mentioned it on 21-5-2016 and anyone who is interested might want to read these and other comments on it, including things like the transparent lies of one contributor to it:

Explaining the lies
A financial loss that doesn't seem to be a loss after all
Should we be sympathetic... only until we look in more detail

House of Commons Library Number CBP-07405, 6 July 2016 research briefing "Increases in the State Pension age for women born in the 1950s" is probably a better background read, see the PDF at the bottom of that page.
