Anyone with at least half a brain knows that women getting the same prize money as men is completely unfair, and the reason is simple, they don't put in the same amount of work. If women played best of 5 just like the men, I'd have no complaints, but they don't, they only play best of 3, yet are given the same prize money as the men who win, this is nothing short of disgraceful, a pathetic, unfair rule to please foaming-at-the-mouth feminists, it's absolutely despicable that this injustice is allowed to stand.
Dare question it though, and you'll come under a barrage of abuse from idiots who'll insinuate everything about you from you hating women to wanting women to have no rights, and if they don't take that path, they make ridiculous reasons up as to why women should get paid the same.
One of these made-up reasons is that women's tennis is more entertaining, therefore their best of 3 equals men's best of 5 on entertainment value, but this is utter poppycock, allow me to explain why.
First of all, if the genders were reversed, there is no amount of entertainment value in the world that women would accept as justification for women having to work harder and longer than men, if the genders were reversed, entertainment value wouldn't even come into it.
Secondly, if it was true that women's tennis is more entertaining than men's, then surely this fact would affect the price of tickets? I mean I'm no businessman, but surely the most entertaining would cost the most, since there would be a higher demand for tickets? Of course it would cost more, it makes perfect economic sense to charge more for something that's in high demand, so this is where the "entertainment value" argument holds no water, because if you check the prices of tickets, you may be surprised.
As I write this, these are the ticket prices for the final;
Ladies Singles Final 4/7/09 - £728
Mens Singles Final 5/7/09 - £2868
Mens Singles Final 5/7/09 - £2868
That's a pretty big difference. I searched lots of different ticket websites, those prices are from the official Wimbledon site, but they all tell the same story, it costs far less to watch the women's final than it does the men's, so this proves that women's tennis is in no way more entertaining than men's, if anything, men's is far superior, going on the ticket prices.
So why the same money for less work?
What's to stop this from becoming law in the workplace, women only having to do 3/5ths of the work that men do, yet getting paid the same?
Why no feminist uproar? I thought they were against unfair pay.
The simple fact is, it's unfair, I'm all for equality, but this is just pandering to women who are angry at nothing, to women who lie to make themselves victims, it's out of order.
Rant over.
