You either equalize them or you don't. You can't exactly say you're going to equalize them in 50 years time. They would still complain they didn't have enough notice.

Men got exactly the same notice of the extra changes as women did.

I said some men are affected, but the leap isn’t the same or compounding the original state pension age increases announced in 1995.
I don’t think any reasonable person would accept your notion “you either equalise them or you don’t” without any lead in period. We ask people to make responsible financial plans for their retirement - the Government shouldn’t pull the rug from under these to the tune of tens of thousands of pounds at two or three years notice given a 40 odd year working career.
It also creates an anomaly where those who are responsible and retire early get penalised for the period and those on benefits continue to trouser taxpayers money in the interim with minimal effect.
