That’s a different argument than saying that the women should be paid less because they don’t play as many sets.

LPGA still plays off the women’s tees, right???

My post was addressing Dunno's comments, not yours.
I agree with your comments, that there's no obvious reason why women's matches shouldn't also be 5 sets. I also agree that changes to the duration of the match would likely favour some players and hurt others, with Serena perhaps being in the latter group. But I'm no expert on tennis....

So I was correct. You are just trying to be inflammatory.

It's very obvious that your reply intentionally misinterprets my post.
I did not say women shouldn't play 5 sets. I did not say there should be any difference at all. But you pretend that's implied and accuse me of being sexist.
Stop trolling. Have some integrity and address the actual point made or I've no further interest in this exchange.

Dunno apparently also thinks marathoners should be paid about 100x more than 100 meter sprinters. This ignores the fact that what really determines compensation is revenue generation and, as far as I know, the women in tennis draw just as many eyeballs as the men regardless of whether they play 5 sets or not.

But yeah, he's just a troll.

Oh, I forget that the women's marathon is 3/5 as long as the men's marathon...

And if you are going to base remuneration on eye balls the women's tennis allows for a fraction of advertising time in comparison to the men's.

By your rational you are just as happy to pay the same price for 1hour of entertainment as 4 hours.

No matter which way you look at it there is no good reason the women shouldn't be playing 5 sets.

We know the elapsed time of the event, but what is actual moving time? So many play stoppages, commercial breaks. It's as if someone on their watch show legit distance 7:30 140.6 triathlon, but then you look at elapsed time saying 24 hours..

So when you don't have a logical response you resort to the lowest dorm of debate-insult.

I'm all for equality and think anyone who wants to treat females differently are clearly sexist.

Oh the irony!

Again trying to misinterpret posts and cause trouble. You don't believe what you've written yourself, and you're certainly fooling no-one else. My posts are pretty simple and there for all to see. You're trolling. It's not a resort to ad hominem, it's an accurate description of your current behaviour on this thread.
End of story.
