THE EU GENDER DIRECTIVE
What
every woman ought to know…..
All
men and women are created equal, but some have been more equal than others.
The gender directive is meant to address
this and it does!
However, do we all want what is fair and
what we may have campaigned for, what have we done?
In our pursuit of equality have we got more
than we bargained for?
Statistically women live longer than men, therefore life and protection premiums cost us less than men!
We want to be equal so after the 21st Dec 2012 we will be.
Obviously in the interests of fairness and the politically correct times that we live in, us ladies will have to pay
the same as our men, gone will be the reduction that women have previously
enjoyed their life insurance and protection premiums will be the same.
Life premiums for women could rise as much
as 15%, what does this matter, because 59% of WOMEN don’t even have any life
insurance!
This is a bit silly of us, ladies, he deserves life insurance and income
protection why don’t we? Society dictates that she can and should earn as
much as him, be the domestic goddess, nurture the children and strive to be as
successful as any man, in fact 40% of women are the main earner*, her life and
salary really is as important as his.
ITS
TIME TO ACT LADIES, BEFORE THE 21ST DECEMBER 2012 WHEN THE
GENDER DIRECTIVE COMES INTO FORCE, THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON ONE OF THE FRINGE
BENEFITS OF BEING FEMALE.
