Are women losing out unfairly over their state pension?

Many women are having to go back to work in their retirement after finding that their pensions are worth a lot less than they thought because they took time out to have children. On Good Morning Scotland we heard the story of June Miller who had been on the so-called 'married women's stamp' when she had kids back in the 1960s and 70s.
Like many, she paid reduced national insurance for taking time off work. The assumption was that women could rely on their husband's pension. But June didn't realise she was still paying reduced national insurance up until she retired. Now, she's left with a tiny pension pot and has to keep working.

Have you found yourself in a similar position? And are women being discriminated against for having to raise families, or is that just the price they have to pay for taking time off?
