We see men play over six hours in a Wimbledon semi-final. We see the women’s final finished in just over an hour. This is why it is crushingly obvious that women players do not deserve the same prize money under any circumstances.
It’s actually sexism against men to suggest otherwise. Anyone got a convincing argument against this? Maybe we should separate men’s and women’s tennis championships the way football and rugby do and see how they do. Women tennis players have always played much shorter games. If this anti-male feeling continues then we should either let the men join the women’s tour or simply make Wimbledon a single prize, single sex title with both sexes contesting against each other equally. Let’s go girls.
