They have a job and they are paid for it. They also do have pensions and social security benefits: through their husbands. If the husband remains alive, they continue to be paid as they were before retirement. If he dies, they often inherent his pension and assets. It's a terrible system and we need to modernize it but you're still wrong on all of your points.

No, they are not paid. Their husbands get paid, they have all the pensions and social security benefits, not them.

Means total dependence on their husbands. If they get a divorce they have nothing.

It's crazy how anti-feminist HN is. "But whatabout womans???" is all over this thread.

Mind, this is coming from people who were never supportive of women and equality, and now are making snark comments about this equality which they never ever cared for. What.

But then we also can't request 50% of CEOs being women or any job with that arguments ? Wouldn't it be more fair to be excused if you actually can prove that you're taking care of familly members regardless of man/woman ? Why would a perfectly able 20 year old woman be excuzed by default based on her sex ?

You are excused from military service if you have to take care of family members, but it’s so rarely done by men compared to women that it is less work to handle the exceptions than changing the law and create more paperwork
