If you apply this logic to tennis then it would seems that the coach should be given awards, not the player?

Yeah, but a horse could potentially perform all the tasks required of it without having a rider at all (at the time of the event, obviously it has to be trained still).

Wearing a hijab would limit your hearing and peripheral vision anyone who wears one would be handicaping themselves compared to other competitors.

Are you trying to claim that it doesn’t effect performance?

Proposing is a sign of male dominance?

What?

Social media sites allow you to block indivudual users without affecting your ability to continue to use the site normally.

This is true, but I was responding more the the title of the shared video, which claims the text mesage caused him to commit suicide.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. It is not a normal behaviour.

Parents are responsible for both the physical and mental health of their child, i’m not sure why this would be a contraversial…[Read more]

Gymnastics definitely requires an abnormal level of physical ability and skill, as does ice dancing.

I wouldn’t really call them sports though, as the winner is determine by a process that is too subjective for my liking (maybe competative art would be a better term, I don’t know).

So let assume that men’s tenis generates more revenue from advertising because more people watch it. To pay men and women the same you either have to pay women more than they earn, which wouldn’t happen because it’s operating at a loss. Or you pay the men less, where would you suggest the leftover money goes?

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…[Read more]

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.

No two people are equal

Depends how you define a sport tbh, there are different ways of doing it.

Ballet isn’t a sport

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.

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:

This is a biological impossibility, the areas of the brain that limit reaction time to can have are larger and more developed in men.

There are a lot of studies on reaction…[Read more]

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.
