Based on the sham of "equal pay" for Men and Women in Tennis, especially after the Finals we saw at Wimbledon this weekend:

quote:

This is going to be a soapbox because I think this is something that needs to be addressed. I don't intentionally mean to make anyone mad or offended by the post but I also don't really care.

Anyone who is a tennis fan, anyone who plays and/or watches tennis can see how much cr*p the fair pay argument is this weekend at Wimbledon. Serena Williams and Simona Halep barely played an hour in a Women's Final that seemed more like a glorified exhibition. Meanwhile in the Men's Final Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are competing in one of the greatest Men's Finals of all time. They have been playing for over 5 hours now!

Yet at the end of the day due to feminists and "equal pay" the men will get the same pay as the women, despite the fact that they played 4 hours longer and were physically EXHAUSTED after their match whereas the women barely broke a sweat!!

If this was the other way around and the men played a quick 2 out of 3 for their final and the women played a grueling 3 out of 5 for their final for the same pay all the feminists out there would be screaming bloody murder! Yet where are you feminists now, no surprise, you're nowhere to be found. You're silent which is complete hypocrisy!!

These Finals at Wimbledon show why the Men should be paid MORE than the Women, at least at Grand Slam tournaments. How would you like it if you and a co-worker were both given projects, yours take 2 60 hour weeks and theirs takes 1 regular 40 hour week, and you were both paid the same? I'm guessing you would be pretty mad and you would have a right to be mad.

How can anyone justify the Women getting paid more than the Men when the Women were out there for not even an hour and the Men were playing for over 5 hours!! There is no argument against that.

As far as I'm concerned Serena Williams and Simona Halep should give up some of their prize money to Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic simply out of respect for how much harder they had to work for the money. That would be the right thing to do.

Simply put, Men should be paid more than Women at Grand Slam Tennis Tournaments until the Women finally pull their fair share and play the best 3 out of 5. I'm not anti-woman, I'm not sexist, once Women play best 3 out of 5 then the Women should absolutely be paid as much as the Men, but not before that.

I'm sorry again if this offends anyone but this just really p*sses me off and if it does offend anyone I would argue you need to grow thicker skin. The whole last month we've heard about equal pay for the women's soccer team but when it comes to true equal pay between men's and women's tennis everyone is silent. I welcome anyone to challenge me on any of this. As far as I'm concerned there is no debate on this and no legitimate challenge but you're welcomed to try.


I only let certain people see the post. None of my family or close friends can see the post. How long before I'm removed from Facebook?

It's what the market will bear.

People will pay more to see men compete.

Hell, even women would rather watch men compete.

Actually I'm very close with my immediate family thank you very much. Talk to my parents, sister and brother in law weekly.

I just prefer not to cause any extended family drama. All of my immediate family are Conservative but there are a few Liberal nuts in our extended family.

Not nearly as important as I am sure you feel from your diligence at policing this board

Using one example is a really bad way to argue your point. You may just as easily say that since the women’s national team won the World Cup, and since the men’s team failed to qualify last time, the women deserve to be paid more, since they played more games.

You clearly aren’t as smart as you think you are.
