THE END OF CHEAPER LIFE COVER FOR WOMEN - You and The EU Gender Directive!


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.
