Lets be honest, it's got nothing to do with equality, it's positive discrimination dressed up to achieve some contrived version of equality.

What the fuck does this have to do with liberals?
I was being flippant/glib. Nuance is difficult to express over social media but I suggest you calm down dearie.Oh well, let’s demonstrate how much stronger men are. That’s not conflating the issue at all!
How scared of equality are you?
If your argument is that tennis pay should be based on how many sets they play, that's fine. But if you do believe that, it logically follows that the women's football team should be paid the same as the men. After all, they play the same amount of football as the men (90 mins) .
That would be good.It doesnt logically follow at all.
Wimbledon is a competition where everyone competes and if they want equal prize money then they should follow same rules.
In football its a completely different competition. If the men & womens world cup were played paralell to each other in same stadiums etc, and FIFA marketed it as a sinlge tournament/football festival of sorts then yes you could argue for equal prize money.
She's currently getting smashed by Simona Halep, lost the 1st set in about 25 minutes! Big swing and miss, big swing and net, repeat. Occasional excellent shot thrown in. She can't run, all you have to do is move her around (easier said than done sometimes mind).She was smashed by a man ranked 203
Why are you using American political terms instead of British ones?

Women’s final over in 55 minutes.
Equal pay well deserved imo.

I never said they should. I was replying to a comment where someone was getting excited that men are stronger than women.What a ridiculous and laughable argument.
Many UFC women fighters would kick the shit out of most of this board.
They are skilled fighters but Brock Lesnar would destroy all of them.
Therefore why should Brock Lesnar be paid the same as those fighters?
Strength is a big aspect in sport. If the ladies arent able to demonstrate the same level of performance why should they be paid the same?
Why stop there let's up the prize money for the junior tournament as well because the current prize money is age discrimination
It’s about time we just said that anyone can play whatever sport they want in any competition they’ve qualified or employed to play, as long as they’re not using performance enhancing drugs from a given list.
Ridiculous to have men only or female only sports imho.
Controversial maybe but interesting definitelyTake 'women's' and 'men's' out of all sports and remove all drug restrictions. Let the fuckers get on with it. Brock Lesnar v Rhonda Rousey, Djokovic v Williams etc. Equality in action. See how the women's world cup winning team do against a men's team. You want the same pay? Compete on the same stage.

I think we broadly agree: gender shouldn't come into it at all. Which is why I think it's a fair enough argument that the female tennis stars should play the same number of sets for the same money, and that ultimately (I'm not saying immediately!) we should aspire to have a Women's Premier League on an equal standing with the men's. Until the sponsors get on board, the fans can't get on board, which means the clubs can't get on board with equal pay. It's something to aim for, eh?I think a person's pay should be based both upon their time and how much revenue they generate for their employer, the weightings of these will vary from industry to industry but in most industries they are broadly the same & I am in favour of equal pay. In the case of sport viewing figures/ticket sales are closely tied to revenue. Negotiations & final pay should be based upon the above factors & should have nothing to do with what someone has or doesnt have between their legs. What do you think a person's pay should be based upon?
