Guardian Upset That Men Are Interested In Women

Don’t waste your click, guys . . . no pix.
What is sexist at Wimbledon is that women get the same prize money as men for playing much shorter games – a maximum 3 sets for the women as opposed to a maximum 5 sets for the men.
Supply and demand, old son — supply and demand.
Not true.
Woman’s single prize money was less than men’s until 2007. It was raised due to a political campaign.
The critical factor ought to be supply and demand. In which case men should get paid more due to the fact that more people watch the men’s tennis than women’s. eg.
Television viewing figures and attendances at tournaments show that, in general, fewer people watch women’s matches than men’s matches, although that trend might be changing. At Wimbledon last year, for example, the men’s final between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick was watched by a BBC TV audience of 5.8m, while 6.8m watched the previous day’s women’s final between Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport.
Note there is now a campaign to raise the money for wheelchair tennis:

Maybe next year all female players and fans should wear burkas.
Surely the feministas would be happy with that?
They won’t be happy because wearing burkas implies that women need to cover their skin to prevent themselves from being sexually objectified by men. The feministas feel that the only time a man has a right to be sexually attracted to a women is when she explicitly gives him permission, thus the feministas would push for even less clothing in women’s sports.
Reblogged this on The Firewall.
The announcer who made the remarks about the winner not being a “looker” was an idiot, even if take all his remarks in full context.
