But flame me if you feel the need but women run the 100, 200, 400, etc right up to marathon. I don’t care who runs the fastest .....that’s obvious but there is parity there. Not in tennis though.

They take longer, they should get paid MORE

Not read the thread, but I have to say, IMO the womens game short-changes the punters. The Final today was an amazing result, but a 6-2 6-2 wrapped up in about an hour is hardly VFM, now is it.
Frankly it baffles me that women are (apparently) not capable of playing 5 sets. They are professional athletes.

I agree, women are running the same as the men and get the same. Think the only difference is the men do a decathlon and the women a Heptathlon although I think that is changing.

Is that the best you've got? An insult? No attempt to debate at all. You are a hypocrite, go on about being a socialist and yet you have 1901 membership!!! At least I don't pretend to be something I'm not unlike you!!

Mr hypocrite!!!! 'Socialist' yet in the 1901 posting pictures of the 'poor quality' food in there. I'm sure a homeless person would love ya 'problem' of 'poor quality food' on a cold winters afternoon!! No doubt this summer you are off on a 'oh so trendy summer holiday' probably costing a fortune. Why don't you give up ya 1901 membership and go in the north stand and donate the difference to a homeless charity?
Excellent work. Why did it take you 18 minutes to come up with the same argument a second time? Did you forget you’d made the initial post?

If the prize money is the same, then they should be doing 5 sets. It really is as simple as that.

You've still not got an arguement!!! Just a response. HYPOCRITE!!! Why don't you take up my suggestion and give up 1901 and donate the balance to a homeless charity?

As you quickly got onto posting this, and making yourself look like a complete dick, your whole argument disappears into your misogynistic views. It's not you being a dinosaur, it's you being a ****.
Any chance of a sensible debate is gone.

What a load of bollox
The idea of only playing matches is 5% of the set up, you are correct in your summary

Who cares? Our gender has been so favoured in history and even now, if woman get payed more prize money per minutes played good for them. In so many other lines of work men get payed more. Why do people have to strike a fuss every time woman get favoured ever so slightly.

Genuinely wonder what the OP is expecting people to say to this. Yes, per minute played the women get paid more. Obviously you aren’t suggesting that everyone is paid according to the time spent on an endeavour, because that wouldn’t be right either.
On average, men are born with a significant physical advantage to women. Maybe you think this gives them the right to be paid more. But in practically every job in every industry women are paid significantly less than men, solely because of their gender. This is entirely inappropriate and makes no sense whatsoever - it’s counter-productive to the general advancement of the human race. Anything that can be done to address this balance should be done. If there are some aberrations that mean women get paid technically more than men, then so be it. A tiny price to pay.

Nailed it.
I’m willing to donate the balance to a brainless charity. PM me your bank details and I can sort this out.
Payed? What the actual fxxk!
