Marion Bartoli won the Wimbledon women’s tennis final after 81 minutes. It took 190 minutes for Andy Murray to win the men’s final. That was after a grueling 283 minutes semi final game. Same prize money for less then half the work. Equality as usual.

So what you're saying is, tennis players should be paid based on how long it takes to win? So an amazing player who can ace every serve would get paid less than someone who takes a long time to just barely win?

Women usually have more time at hand to play doubles, thus finally earning more money then the men.

Women lose to men in chess, darts, snooker, tennis, math contests, spelling bees, Wikipedia participation, patent applications, and, amazingly can not even compete in cooking.

The original article has links to prove these statements

Fire fighters are hampered by quota women who don’t have the strength to carry an injured comrade, to wrestle a ladder, or to break a door.

But society needs quota women for "equality". Equal outcome for unequal performance. Roy Baumeister and others explained, why men have higher variance at all traits, even in those where they have same mean performance. Men are over-represented at the top, and at the bottom (in prison, on death row, work accidents, homelessness, suicide and life span)

Since when has the work actually been done only on the court(in the case of tennis) in sports? Most of the work is done year round, and the reward is the same for both because the differences that a 190 minute match compared to an 81 minute match doesn't even come close to the hours upon hours of real work they both have put into becoming the best in the world(at least in this specific tournament) at what they do.
