Women Tennis Players and Money

The girls at Wimbledon claim they are being paid less than the men, why? They play less sets, three at most instead of five, and feel that being given less money for doing less work is 'unequal!' The truth is these selfish greedy women take MORE money out of Wimbledon than the men! How? By playing in more tournaments! by having to play longer matches the men are less inclined to join in the doubles or mixed doubles games. This however does not matter to the 'two sets at most' girlies. Not only do they make money by entering these matches they have more time to sit around feeling sorry for themselves. Poor dears. If only equality was what it ought to be! Men being men, and women being women. Each being the best they could be and free to be themselves and develop themselves into the best possible. To accept the physical, mental, emotional differences that exist, and to LIVE WITH IT rather than force an unreal world on themselves and others. Then we could have equality. Then pay would matter less, but be rewards for ACTUAL work, and not just earned by going into a huff! And let's face it, tennis is boring!

i didn't know the women in tennis played less sets than their male counterparts...if so, then i guess the pay packets are quite justifiable.

anyway, what is it about women trying to equal all that men do? what's the fascination in being seen as "on par" with the opposite sex on practically everything they strive in? isn't pointing out that the standards set by their male counterparts are the "records" that requires to be beaten, already an admission that they are indirectly the "force to be reckoned with?"

if you think tennis is boring, try watching a round of golf...i don't understand what the hype is all about with Michelle Wie and her attempts to compete in the PGA? she can't even compete in the LPGA impressively but wants to jump the gun and be the "first" to play in the big boys' league? what's that all about?
