So basically, if you're behaving in a gender-incongruent fashion, you are more likely to be penalized in the workplace for that, but it just so happens that that penalty for women means fewer material resources.

So we have to be aware of that when we're planning for our financial futures.

And then finally, you have the simple reality that women live around six and a half percent longer on average than men do. So statistically speaking, women are more likely to be the ones who will bear the brunt of poor long-term financial planning. So their portfolios need to last longer.
