Do women deserve equal prizes at Wimbledon?

Serena williams is a beast; she'd be fine.

They are bad, and get paid more. 'Equality'

To me it just feel alike an employer paying less for the same hours.

Because they will lose all the time due to their natural physical disadvantage???

You may as well say women shouldn't play tennis.

Well in my opinion no one should play tennis, I hate the sport, but I'm all for equality if you are dedicating the same amount of time to your job.

She was 16 lol. I'm sure she'd be fine; not a champion or anything, but she'd qualify for tournaments and give it a good go. And you can't improve practicing vs bads; you need to play against better players consistently to properly progress.

I've no idea given plenty of women have those skills. I think probably because it is predominantly played in men's spaces so women don't really get into it so there is a much smaller pool of women to draw from therefore they aren't going to be very good at it. Same goes for darts. There's no physiological reason I can find why women wouldn't be as good.

It isn't just about the physical disadvantage though, you say you hate tennis so I'm assuming you don't follow it, but the women are nowhere near the technical level of the men either. Hence Serena, possibly the best ever women's tennis player, and with a very strong physique, said she doubts she'd win a point against Andy Murray.

Why? It isn't like women's tennis isn't popular enough to be self sustaining. It's a good sport, I often watch it, it just shouldn't be compared to the men's game.

So you don't think anyone should do things you don't like? Right... You are talking about communism, if you think pay should be decided by the amount of time someone spends doing a job. Should the cleaner get the same as the CEO?

To me it just feel alike an employer paying less for the same hours.

Why are the top people almost always men at chess? Scrabble and bridge (both mostly played by women, mind you)? Tetris? Rubik's cube? Players vs player in mmorpg's even though millions of women play the game?

Which is exactly what happens in every job outside of hourly retail work etc.

I work 9-5, same as my boss but I expect that he gets paid at least 4 times the amount I do.

It should be noted Braasch was well past it when he played Serena, known for drinking and smoking a lot (even smoking during change overs, seriously).

I hate to ally with the annoying anti-feminists on here, but as a tennis fan it really bugs me that people don't get this.

The point is though, woman's tennis is bad. How are you supposed to improve if you don't challenge yourself against the best, taste failure, and keep going?

I think the Novak vs Na match showed a great example of this [even though novak was clearly holding back A LOT.] - by the end of the game Na was able to hit a couple of legitimate aces against him, and some very good points.

To me it just feel alike an employer paying less for the same hours.

But I really do feel a lot of that is because women aren't encouraged to get into sports - hence things like snooker and darts have no women - and in time they could improve if only the money was there.

No I was just giving my opinion on what I would like to see. I have clearly stated already that I was only talking about within the same job and same employer...

Maybe women are just less competitive. The same could be said for poker but look at Victoria Coren.
