There’s nothing sexist about stating biological facts… what part of women are biologically physically weaker and slower than men can’t you get your head around?

As drac as said , women are incapable in gymnastics in many disciplines of performing the same routines as men. This is evidenced by the different olympic routines which are more power orientated for the latter. Using equestrian as an eg which amounts to sitting on a horse as evidence of the two sexes being equal is scraping the barrel to say…[Read more]

What do you mean by stating ” why should tennis be surrounded by physical superiority”. The fact is every single male professional tennis player would wipe the floor with the greatest female tennis player that has ever lived so of course physical power comes into it which is illustrated by the ace count for eg on the male serve. In male tennis…[Read more]

It’s an interesting comment regarding snooker as that’s a sport which requires no physical advantage yet women don’t or won;t compete which could be more to do with it being a more male orientated sport as not many women play the game. The same could apply for formula one racing.. there are no women able to compete against men. Is this down to…[Read more]

It’s only complete ignorance from someone as intrinsically stupid as you that would revert to ” sexist ” comments when stating every world record for men is faster than women which is a fact. You need to educate yourself on human biology instead of coming out with this diatribe of crap

I can barely think of a single sport that doesn’t rely on speed/power/endurance of which testosterone is a facet of so that narrows it down to a tiny number meaning male dominance across the entire sporting spectrum. Gymnastics /ice skating really is clutching at straws as whilst the females are talented, it’s an artistic sport with ability be…[Read more]

That’s a fair comment about the training, but why both sexes are playing different times of match I’ve no idea. In athletics you mention Bolt but there is no concession for women reducing their distance in relation to men yet we have this bizarre set up in tennis.

What do the olympics demonstrate ? 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. My statements are based on facts… not a single distance run in any olympic event including marathons which are based on endurance…[Read more]

Incidentally I prefer womens tennis , 5 sets bores the sweet jesus out of me and in tournaments with both genders playing best of three sets then equal pay is fine but not in scenarios like this.

Name a sport where men and women compete on an equal level with women regularly beating men? We are talking sporting superiority not some kind of master race superiority you are inferring with your posts and I stand by my comments … name a single sport where women beat men that doesn’t involve a machine or animal. It’s not just about strength,…[Read more]

Your points don’t make any sense. As you say pro rata , so as the average mens match lasts longer in tournaments like wimbledon why should pay rates be the same ..” game set and match” you have just argued my case for me. We are discussing tennis as that is the topic, would you go on every thread and say why are we discussing X Y and Z because…[Read more]

It doesn’t really matter what washes water with your or not.. women play 60% the match length as men. This isn’t opinion, it’s fact so how can they possibly work as hard as men? They effectively do the same job but women only need to play a best of three sets compared to best of five for men. You wouldn’t say ” person A works Monday to wednesday…[Read more]

If men work 5 days in an office, women work 3.. what company would pay the same rate to both?

True, but I think we both know the ” viewing” isnt for just the tennis is it from many watchers. I actually prefer womens tennis as 5 sets goes on too long but doesnt mean they should get paid the same for less work

If you want to throw sexist rubbish into the debate then make them play 5 sets against the men and treat both sexes equally… see how they get on.

Why not? I have already said, they dont work as hard in matches ( 3 sets to 5) and are inferior in standard

They are inferior in ability and play 3 sets instead of 5 so should get paid less.
