Wimbledon Final Shows Why Men Deserve To Be Paid More

I'm sorry but yesterday's women's final and today's men's final show exactly why equal pay is such a farce in tennis.
Are you truly going to sit here and tell me that Serena Williams deserves the same runner up pay as either Novak Djokovich or Roger Federer when she barely even showed up for the women's final and was on the court for less than an hour. Meanwhile the loser of the men's final is going to have been out there for over 4 hours and get the same pay.
That's not equal pay, that's the women getting MORE pay for their work (per set, per hour, however you want to judge it) than the men. Women getting to work less for the same pay. That is ridiculous.
If Simona Halep and Serena Williams had any respect they would give some of their winnings to Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
In the very least the women's tournament should be best of 5 sets. The women want equal pay, make them earn it.

So what happens if a Woman's three-set final lasts longer than a three-set men's final.
Do the women deserved to be paid more?

The thing is there has never been a woman’s match as exciting as this one today... and this is just one of many great ones. I watch Womena tennis too...

I agree that the woman should have to play 5 sets.

The Williams sisters were once beat by a 203rd ranked man who smoked cigs in between the matches

So what about in Masters 1000s tournament's when it's 2 out of 3 sets for both? Should the women make less? Get off your soapbox it's not like you're seeing any of that money in your bank accounts

ECB no it's not a ridiculous argument by any means. Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer have been out there for hours and are completely exhausted physically and mentally. Meanwhile the women's final yesterday was more like an exhibition match than a major final. And at the end of the day they are going to get paid the same.
How would you like it if you and another person were assigned different projects at work. Your project is going to take working 2 50 hour weeks while the other person's project is going to take 1 regular 40 hour week. At the end of the day though you all are going to be paid the same amount of money for each project. Are you telling me that's fair?

Don't give a sh*t. Who made them be mothers? No one, that was their choice. If they didn't like it they shouldn't have gotten pregnant. The mother argument holds no water with me.

That's a straw man argument and you know it. Yes they should get paid the same as they are both playing 2 out of 3. But how can you justify the women getting paid equal as the men in majors when women are playing 2 out of 3 and men are playing 3 out of 5? How do you justify that?
I don't mind women getting paid equal to men in terms of tournament money. Most of the men make more in endorsements and sponsorships anyway. But if women want to be paid equal at the major they need to play 3 out of 5. Simply as that.

Sure, but anyone who uses this word

I like how no one has a legitimate argument against this because there is no legitimate argument against this!

Where are all the feminists demanding equal pay now? Oh of course no where to be found because it doesn't benefit them. They don't care about equal pay, all they want is to replace the patriarchy with the matriarchy and be at the top. Bunch of hypocrites.

The best of 5 part, sure.
But the argument that the women shouldn’t be paid as much because their final sucked is weak at best. The men have plenty of awful finals.
