I read somewhere it was related to the average age gap in relationships, so the husband and wife would retire around the same time.

That could easily be nonsense, as could other explanations I've read about women retiring sooner because "they're weaker" etc etc.

Whatever, I do think it's right that the retirement age is the same. I don't have a fully formed opinion on the Waspi Women, but I do think it's typical of politicians to break promises.
