Deuce? Why women continue to experience sexism in tennis : Comments

By Alexander Morgan, published 18/11/2015

It's not just about prize money. It's about endorsements. It's about media exposure. It's about body image.

If demanding equal performance for equal pay is sexism then let the pc police label me so. If I was a woman, I would be ashamed to collect the same pay for performing at a much lower level than my male counterparts. Feminist seem to know no shame so I doubt whether they could reason beyond their victimhood dogma.

If it's any help, I always watch the women's Grand Final, at Wimbledon, Paris, Flushing Meadows - if they had a Grand Final at Gulargambone, I'd watch that too. But I can't recall the last time I watched a Men's GF.

And if you played, Natasha, I'd be happy to watch all day. Under water, if necessary.

If only they had a women's sports channel .....

Sexism in Tennis?

How about sexism in Films where the female lead gets paid almost double that of the male lead.

>According to Hollywood Reporter, Lawrence was paid a staggering $20 million to make the film, and stands to receive 30 per cent of profits after Passengers breaks even.

>Pratt, who has fast emerged as one of Hollywood's hottest male leads following the success of Jurassic World, was also reportedly paid $12 million.
