You guys are so funny
While, as a woman, I agree that generally we are physically weaker than men, that doesn’t make us inferior.
You guys went out hunting, defended us from predators, while we sat around the fire, safe and warm, cooking. All we had to do was feed you and partake in sex now and then. Who’s really the inferior…[Read more]

I’m not implying anything, I’m just exploring ideas here.
If women are physically unable to compete equally then it makes senses to seperate the tournaments according to gender. I’m struggling to express what I mean here, so forgive me.
Men are physically capable of playing five sets, it pushes them to their limits, for women it’s three. Both…[Read more]

I have no interest in tennis, know nothing of the pay structure so I cant make an informed argument for or against in all fairness.
If men are more capable physically, in strength and endurance, and women played the same amounts of sets, would the women not be working harder just to keep up?
You could argue women deserve more as they are at a…[Read more]

Maybe empathy was the wrong choice of word. I was thinking particularly of dressage, women generally tend to dominate that sport, build up better relationships with the horses.
The equal pay thing, I get where you’re coming from but if you accept women are weaker and not capable of playing the same amounts of sets, are you not discriminating…[Read more]

Don’t be ageist.
Seriously though, I agree that (generally) women are physically weaker, our brains are wired differently.
Should female tennis players ger paid less? No. If you accept the argument women are weaker then they are playing to their limit, are they not? Pay them less and you penalise them for their gender.

Interestling thread this.
Biologically men are physically stronger, faster reactions and so on. They need them, they were the hunters, fighters. I don’t think it’s sexist to say that most men are stronger and faster.
