I'm glad to see that the person who tore down that bullshit got more likes; hopefully it's a sign that gradually more people are waking up. No surprise though that the verified Twitter account is the one saying stupid bullshit

The last Tweet is especially on point. Another area where many feminists' claims about being for "equality" are clearly shown to be bullshit is in how selectively they fight for it. Selective equality is not equality. If they believe everyone in every profession should be paid equally, then they should be just as outraged about the model and porn star pay gap that disadvantages males

I got kicked out of my Anthropology course when this argument was still hot because i told the professor she was wrong and explained this.

FHlogin · 2018-07-10T19:12:51+00:00

So, i have actually done a lot of research into this topic, especially so since i indirectly work for FIFA.

At a national level, the women almost have it better than the men. While the pure money for the mens team is "better" its important to keep in mind that the men ONLY get paid per game and the women get a SALARY from the national team. So if they make the squad once, even on the bench, they get a salary for the year. Even if they get injured or pregnant. The USSF also pays the NWSL salaries and is the only reason the womens league really has not yet folded AGAIN. Also, if im not mistaken, they also get full health insurance from the NT.

It's also funny to highlight the fact that there are 3 totally different salaries at the WNT level (72k, 51k, 36k) If equality is such an issue, why are they not campaigning that those on the lower end of the salary get more?

Napkin math:

2/73 = 2.7% of revenue

16/4800 = 0.33% of revenue

2.7/.33 = 8

So the winning womens team got 8x the revenue share of the mens losing team. Make of that what you will.

As a female athlete, this complaint always bugged me too. Like bro I don’t even want to watch the women play, they just aren’t as exciting as the men. And if even other female athletes aren’t gonna pay for it then who the hell is? Why should they make as much, they aren’t providing the same product as the men (i.e high quality entertainment)?

The entire world watches the men's world cup. I watch it even though the Netherlands didn't qualify.

Women's world cup? Never watched it before. I might watch it since Netherlands did so well in the European cup but even then I'll only watch our own team since the matches are less interesting.

lackofagoodname · 2018-07-10T20:24:47+00:00

So 0.33% (of 4.8 billion) for the mens team that loses and 2.7% (of 73 million) for the women who win

Lmao yeah, suuuuper unfair /s

The people who say this shit never know sports at all.

goodmod · 2018-07-10T18:01:26+00:00

The title of your post does not say enough about its subject. This forces people to click and read before they can decide whether they are interested. It also makes searching impossible.

If everyone did this, the subreddit would become unusable.

So please don't do it. Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.

When making a title, it's best to assume the reader doesn't know what you're talking about - but don't go overboard with every detail. Then check if there are any words you can cut out without losing any important information.

TankVet · 2018-07-10T19:24:16+00:00

If you’re into sports, how these contracts are negotiated and developed is pretty interesting. It doesn’t do much for the equal rights crusade to call it an issue of how the contracts are negotiated, but it’s an interesting read:

Ugh. Just think about all the cringey people who are retweeting and favoriting the original message from that Charlotte and thinking/saying thinks like, “Yeah! You go girl! You tell him! That’ll show him!”

It’s terrible to think about.

thefilthyhermit · 2018-07-10T23:17:43+00:00

Why couldn't they use the men's payday for 2014 to match the women's payday for context? I guess the 2018 must be substantially more than last World Cup.

And female models earn more than make ones.

ContreversialViews22 · 2018-07-10T21:49:56+00:00

I swear macro and micro economics needs to be a compulsory subject that every person needs to complete, it pisses me off that some people think its (insert stupid reason here) that men get paid more than women in majority of sports

zhivagoo · 2018-07-11T01:02:56+00:00

Yeah this equal pay in things like sport is fucking stupid since mens sport makes sooooo much more than the females.

kgncpro · 2018-07-10T20:54:53+00:00

same shit going on with NBA n WNBA.....

Based_Hootless · 2018-07-11T00:55:59+00:00

I wonder how much time this person spent watching women’s soccer

32BitWhore · 2018-07-10T21:15:54+00:00

So the men who win get 0.8% of the total revenue (38m out of 4.8bn), and the women who win get 2.7% of the total revenue generated (2m out of 73m) from their respective tournaments. Who's privileged again?

DiamondxCrafting · 2018-07-10T19:03:33+00:00

Only about 5 times in the past 24 hours

suousurvive · 2018-07-10T20:53:21+00:00

Where did I see her before? Was she in another controversy before?

Proteus_Marius · 2018-07-10T23:40:01+00:00

Oh, Charlotte.

rebar71 · 2018-07-11T06:21:11+00:00

The sad thing is I actually enjoy watching the women's World Cup more because there's a lot less flopping and diving going on.

Feminist need to stay away from politics and debates

DeusSolaris · 2018-07-11T11:40:25+00:00

In fact women got way more money per dollar generated than men.

As always women getting free shit

subsidiarity · 2018-07-11T11:43:56+00:00

To be fair at the risk of pissing everybody off: In this clip at least, Clymer didn't say there was anything wrong with the pay differential.
