Overpaid women.

[cityboy]

Sally Anne, run a survey on who prefers women's tennis to men's tennis.

I prefer watching the women. The tennis is secondary

It was far better when they used to wear knickers.

Did you? I just thought you were babbling on about how women shouldn't be paid the same. And then babbled some more on how we're supposed to say dinner ladies are the same as bin men etc.

Did I mention babble?

Just to clarify.

No mate. What I am saying is we stop with this "women are equal" tulip and accept that there are differences in the sexes.

Celebrate those differences instead of chasing this ridiculous equality ideal. These women are asking to be treated as equals when clearly they are not.
Neither are dinner ladies doing an equal job to bin men, but to be PC we have to say they are.?

I will now propose a reason why women should be paid as much as the men at Wimbledon that you could have used instead of bleeting on about equality and tulip.
Money.
The womens games are as popular as the mens. They generate an equal amount of revenue for the tournament and should therefore be given an equal share. However I would guess that were it a men only comp people would still pay the same. There would still be a market for the womens game.

Does the bold bit help? Babble.

I must admit the thought of kournikova in the 'buff' does sound appealing though.

If there is an after-life, I want to come back as kournikova's second serve tennis ball...

I think I just said that.

I think you are well aware of the inability of some on this board to grasp subtle distinctions LG.

Do you ever have anything constructive to add to a discussion? Typical woman - proved wrong and resort to insults! Women are not equal to men in a number of areas and it is no good trying to pretend they are. Saying that, in some areas they excel. I don't know what this obsession is with equality - people are not, never have been and never will be equal.

Yes it did, thank you

My humble apologies

Ok I see some of your points but put it this way, despite being played on the same courts as the same time at the same venue there are essentially two different competitions going on, so why can’t the people who run the game just set the prize money at whatever level they like? ...More if they want! Take away the equality issue and the problem goes away.

I'm just saying why can't they have the same level of prize money if they want why does it always have to be less?

I knew we would get there in the end.

It is the equality thing that pisses me off.
