This just about sums it up doesn’t it. The prevailing sexism in today’s modern society. When women are successful in sport they are then described as “masculine” and when they exploit advertisement opportunities, like men have for decades, they are negatively compared to talentless TV reality personalities who have never achieved anything other than being famous, just for being famous.
Sport is a context of physical ability and skill, that is inherantly masquline.

The text message compeled him to do it?
I wish I lived in this magical fantasy universe that other people seem to sometimes.
I don’t know the exact details of this case, but he probably killed himself because he was mentally ill. Of course the bully bares some responsiblity in agitating it, but his parents also failed to identify the state of his health.
A healthy person would just block the number and carry on with their life.
I do agree though, prize money should be equal regardless of the amount of sets they have to play
Prize money should be equal to how many people watch the event, that’s where the money that is awarded comes from. If one gender or the other is unable to attract viewership then they are worth less (within the context of the sport) and should be paid accordingly.
We should all be equal
No two people are equal
It is LOOK IT UP
Depends how you define a sport tbh, there are different ways of doing it.
Ballet dancing
Ballet isn’t a sport
Name a sport which can be measured in quantifiable measurements such as time/distance/postions where women beat men instead of vague references to my statements being inaccurate.
Snooker, pool, and darts are sports that I would expect women would be able to play equally as well as men, but they are things that women don’t seem to have much interest in playing so it would be hard to find numbers for this.
No they don’t, clearly, gymnastics springs to mind
Olympic events for gymnastics are different for each gender, so it’s hard to make a comparison that way. But I don’t think there are many women who can do this:
I would also argue female tennis players reaction times are just as fast as their male counterparts.
This is a biological impossibility, the areas of the brain that limit reaction time to can have are larger and more developed in men.
In the context of the brain processing. It would be interesting though if it has ever been measured.
There are a lot of studies on reaction times.
I would also argue “reflective instinct” is learned by repetition, learned behaviour and not based on gender at all.
I was talking more about unlearned reflexes, which are faster in men, and men also have a larger amygdala, which is responsible for passively assessing potential threats, which can then be responded to without concious thought in many cases.
Every sport ever invented? You sure about that one. Don’t you mean the cherry picked sports you have chosen, where men are physically stronger than women and that you therefor equate strength to superiority?
Men also have faster reaction times, and better reflective instincts, and threat assessment than women do on average, all of which are of benifit in sports.

What are the viewership numbers on female tennis comared to males?
That’s usually what pay for sports is based on.
