    Woman is sexist against other women. :wacko:

    (Yes, I know that femminists would describe this as internalised misogyny, but femminist critical theory is bs)

    There are underlying reasons why some people are ‘weaker’ than others, and that is something that can be fixed with the proper treatment.

    Boxing probably would have been a better example, as the coach and the boxer interact more directly during the match than in tennis.

    I don’t see how you can come to this conclusion. He wouldn’t have commited suicide at that exact time, sure. But he may have at a later date due to exam pressure, or any other number of reasons. Or he may never have done as you suggested. It’s impossible to predict what would happen if there were undelying mental health issues.

    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? :unsure:

    Proposing is a sign of male dominance? :wacko:

    What?

    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.

    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.
