Ricky Petterd cleared over scuffle at Boxing Day Test [updated]

[Go Richo 12]

Is this thread about Ricky Petterd?

NO.

It's about the woman

Honestly though, i don't care whether a woman plays three or five sets in tennis, gets belted by a bloke after belting him first or how high they would be stacked at the tip. It's about Petterd and his mates.

Its not whether claw is right or wrong.

There is one thing he is saying that is 1000000% spot on.

Woman want equal rights, complain for equal rights. Yet only seem to want equal rights for certain things that suit them.

There should be equal rights or there shouldn't. Make up your minds ladies.

The sport tennis is a fantastic example. Men sweat it out for 5 hard sets and generate FAR MORE sponsorship and corporate dollars, yet get paid the same as the woman who cruise thru the tournament playing 3 sets. If it was the other way around woman would be going crazy for equal rights. Its no different than a woman working 5hrs a day and the men working a full day and being paid the same. Time for equal rights, time they play 5 sets.

X2
Amen

Ricky categorically denies he did anything wrong.
Still just allegations!

Innocent until proven guilty.

Hard to see equal rights for sexes ever until men have equal opportunity as home carers without prejudice (much of it generated from women). Also Men can never have equal rights because we can't physically have children. This is where women have it both ways. They can choose the home or professional life. Men still are not afforded the same opportunity as society still is largely unaccepting of men raising families and many females are drivers of this attitude.

Pretty much my thinking too MM.  I'm a strong believer in equal rights but for it to be fair and just, equal must be equal.  When women are prepared to hand over 'ownership' of their sacred genetic driven rights then I will fly the flag for them to own ours, until then................fo, let genders do what their DNA tells them - be man and woman.  Both are good and both are bad, both are right and both are wrong, but one is not the other.  Our world is f'ed up enough without confusing our precious kids with gender 'greyness'!

What a ridiculous analogy. IMO  The reason women have 3 sets and men have 5 is simply time and viewer interest, it has nothing to do with physical ability to play out 5 sets..  Anyway

Not ridiculous at all. IMO.

Pay em less.

You are 100% correct, viewer interest isnt there. They generate a heap less in corporate dollars and sponsorship dollars and you state there isn't even enough viewer interest for them to bother "playing" 5 sets.

However they get paid the same.

Is that equal? Is that fair?

Call it what you want. Quote a dictionary. Spin it how you want.

Call my analogy ridiculous.

What it is, is complete BS.

IMO,  Yes it is fair.. and i cant stand tennis anyway. but you miss my point..  Equality is not about what you get.. Its about what you're denied

How much do you think the crowd would drop if the girls didnt play..  They're worth the same to advertisers
