Swiss Women's Team

The unbridled joy blokes get when things like this happens really gives you an insight into their mentality.

Just a wonderful chance to puff their chests out and 'prove' once again that women are inferior.

Clap, clap, clap.

How do you think the women's netball team would respond if the men's team wanted the same money?

Our men's medley relay team want as much in endorsement compared to our excellent women?

I don't agree with the women bashing but it stems from their claim for equality that isn't based on performance level or revenue realised.
 
The comparison is the same stupid principle as always.

Some men think that playing against women in sport is easy - "I could do better". Which leads them to the conclusion that women's sport is of inferior quality - "Men's sport is better". Which lets them conclude that women do not deserve the same money - "Men are worth more". Which confirms their entitlement to live in their mother's basement - "I have a right to be supported by Mommy", or to stand with like minded men in a group, get drunk and beat chests - "We are better then women. Man, together, strong".

On the reality side - women can train as long and as hard as men in preparation. It costs the same to travel and kit out - unless the items are deemed fashionable luxuries in which case they pay more for them. It is the same disruption and ownership of time to be a female sportsperson. They compete with equivalent level athletes and equivalent complexity structures/strategies. They cannot run 100m as fast as the fastest man and cannot lift as much weight as the strongest man.

I am not actually arguing for or against equality of pay or with those who feel either way on reasonable, rational grounds - just abusing those who think a comparison of men and women in unequal physical competition is relevant.
 
Happened to look at this before I logged on to see the clown who started this thread being rightly castigated. Usually he is on Ignore function and don't see his posts.

Good on those who responded to said clown and misogynist!

Male footballers generally have an advantage in strength, athleticism and speed. They are usually more technically proficient too. NPL senior teams I watch would beat the top international women's football teams.

However, the international women are pro footballers.

Their game plans, tactics, game sense, communication, positional play, concentration - is similar to the top international male players. It greatly exceeds NPL men's football.
