It's not about which sex is funnier. People take their life experience and draw from that. We all have a different perspective based on the things that messed us up as we were growing up. There is such a thing as irony in humour. Para Sasco is a clever lady and funny. It's OK to be that combo. No need to feel threatened by a smart and witty woman who also happens to be good looking. I think it's a tremendous and desirable to have all of that in a woman. I get her humour, she's one of the best.

Nice to know that the EU makes up for women earning less at work. In Dec 2012 it became law that womens' pension deals would be ten percent better than mens'. Providers must charge both sexes equally to buy an annuity even though they will have to pay out for several years longer for women - on average.

Do you just mean that they get the same amount of money each year after retirement? So the only reason they get more eventually is because they, on average, live longer? In most pension schemes, what you get out of them is proportional to what you put in, which is, in turn, proportional to what they earn. So if women earn less, they will still get a worse pension. I do thinks it's a good step, but it doesn't compensate for everything

+Rachel Honeysett Not quite - To illustrate in broad terms, if a healthy 65 year-old person managed to save £1,000,000 in a private pension fund they could currently buy an index-linked annuity (pension) of about £32,000 per year. Prior to Dec 2012 EU Directive, a man would have had £34,000 pa and a woman £31,000 because all else being equal, women live several years longer than men in retirement. If you were an insurance company contracting to provide an income for life to a large number of people and you had a choice of all men or all women you could charge each according to the group life-expectancy. Now you are not allowed to do this but must base your actuarial calculation on a combine life expectancy which is dominated by women - because by living longer, there are more of them in old age. The new law requires that insurance companies make more profit out of providing men with pensions than they do out of providing such to women. It is unscientific and born out of political correctness dogma. [By the way - (healthy) smokers still get a better annuity rate due to their shorter life expectancy, than non-smokers. Smoking, which is a voluntary matter, has not hit the same political correctness clamour as gender of which one has no control.]

Brendan Webster Thanks for the detailed explanation. This does mean I had understood it correctly and I believe that this change is for the better (it certainly isn't a black-and white issue, though - it does pose difficulty for the people providing the pensions). As you said in your first comment, it does kinda make up for the pay gap; as I said earlier, with women usually making significantly less than men, they will have less money invested in their pension, meaning that they have less to live on in retirement. Before the EU legislation, the retired women would get even less than they do now, putting them at a significant disadvantage to the men. Whilst you can argue (with proper justification) that this was the sensible thing to do for financial reasons, the real life application of the former rules could be very sad; many women, especially single women, not having enough money to be comfortable in their old age, and later on, not being able afford proper care. After all, women require just as much money to live off as men. It is a shame that the pensions of men had to go down as a result of this, especially ones in more precarious financial situations, but overall I think it has done more good than harm. As to what you said about smokers getting higher pensions - i don't mind. That is a clear, specific factor that usually makes you have a shorter life, not something as generic as gender - you don't hear anyone say 'I'm worried about dying early because I'm a man!' People die of far more specific causes.

+Rachel Honeysett One needs to be clear about pensions. They cost money - the commitment to pay a pension brings with it a financial liability to the pension provider. Pensions that are directly linked to earnings and length of service are "defined benefit" schemes (almost only found in the public sector these days for new employees) - equal pay provides equal pensions even if you are a man or a smoker, or have some other life limiting condition. The cost of providing that pension is not known prior to retirement - what ever the cost of annuities at that time must be found by the pension fund. Women's pensions have always cost employers more money to provide than men's pensions. If you simply accumulate money in a savings pot legally designated as pension fund (for tax relief) you get what the money in that fund will buy. Deductions are made jointly by employee and employer typically as a percentage of salary. Equal pay leads to equal pension pots. Some occupational schemes required the pensioner to accept whatever the company decided (no longer the case since George Osborne changed the rules. Others allowed the prospective pensioner to seek the best available annuity rate on the market. Self-employed and employees having no occupational scheme had to make their own provision for savings typically using one of the insurance companies or investment houses. Most of my own pension provision is tied up in the latter. The value of my pension dropped to 25% of its value in a matter of months during the stock market crash. It just about recovered to 90% of its former value, when overnight it was cut by almost 10% due to the EU Gender Directive 2012. I was forced to cancel my annuity purchase which had suffered delay and instead enter a draw-down arrangement which still favoured women (the government actuaries set the maximum drawdown rate) but put off the evil day of having to buy a pension designed to fit a longer living person. George Osborne has since come along and though he couldn't undo the wicked EU witch's gender spell, he mitigated its effect by allowing pensioners to access the pension funds freely - that leveled up the playing field between men and women but deprives men of the chance to have a risk free retirement. I do not think it is a good thing and neither do professional actuaries who according to their ethics, should use the best life prediction possible when setting annuity rate.

You probably get your views about comedy from watching shows where people have a five minute slot and have to perform what the TV executives think people want to see rather than going and seeing an entire show with a full underlining narrative. There are so many good female comedians out there. Pascoe, Isy Sutti, Mary Bourke, Bridgette Christie and Danielle Ward to name a few. If you look outside of small tv slots and go and see a fucking show, you might be a bit more open-minded

The Equal Pay Act (EPA) and Title VII make it illegal to discriminate based on sex in the payment of wages or benefits. It requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work. The jobs need not be identical, but they must be substantially equal. If a different wage is or was paid to a person who worked in the same job before or after an employee of the opposite sex this is a direct violation of the EPA.

I like her but that "Men earn more money in every industry where you don't have to take your clothes off" is absolute nonsense. People should learn to read and read the wage gap report. Women earn less overall but that's based on many factors which aren't about sexism. Most important factor is job choices, do NOT choose social fields or education fields to work in (dominated by women). Choose STEM fields. Choose to work longer hours. Choose not to take care of the kids but make your partner do it. It's about choice and women choose happiness in job over money.

+taos treror Well, some of the women mentioned worked harder than most men and still didn't get the recognition until later on. She mentioned Florence Nightingale and Marie Curie, women who weren't recognised for a while. The Suffragettes were women who wanted to work ordinary jobs like men and still didn't get it until later on. Mary Seacole was a nurse who worked in the Crimean war and people still aren't that fussed about her even though she spent her own money on helping the soldiers and after all of it and final recognition, she got a medal. There are some female lawyers who work so much harder than their colleagues but still get paid less. So, in my opinion, there are women who concentrate more on their job than they do their family or self. Why? Because how else can they survive? You, pretty much, need a job in order to live! That's just my take on it though. I think everyone is entitled to believe what they want.

Men, in my opinion, shouldn't be able to judge a woman, or all women for that matter, until they've gone under the stress, self hatred, self pity and pressure given to them from the media. Once again, just my opinion.
