Women face many financial and life issues men don't. Women still earn 30 - 40% less than men. They still live 7 - 8 years longer. They are more likely to have their income interrupted to have and raise a family or take care of family (not children). They are more likely to be a single parent. More likely to have little or no retirement savings. For example, 60% of women retired today live on less than $15,000 a year in income (as compared with 30% of men). And women make decisions differently. It's not about MEN VS. WOMEN, its about ensuring these and many other special issues are addressed.
