Curious doing research after, could not find number of sets/salaries for Renee but did find interesting article with regard to her Transgender change and many challenges playing professionally with others due to strength always in question.
Down loads not easy with this device but here is the article read:
Beta.bbc.com/news/
Magazine 33062241(No space after news)
Interesting… Did not realize how many female players played with her….
Well Nemesis you make a point. KingS – The Williams sisters, vanity fair pic? One an alleged OAP killer, the other likes to copy Demi Moore on some chav pic. One is doing adverts for beds, etc. They would do anything for money!!! I get them mixed up just one is slightly less masculine than the other and whacks the ball about 2mph slower. In the scheme of things, that child will be proud of her mum for making Kim Kardibum look to have dignity.
Women 1 Men 1.1
Give us a shout when you win a grand slam, and its been stated she was at no fault in the death… Next…

I do agree though, prize money should be equal regardless of the amount of sets they have to play
Prize money should be equal to how many people watch the event, that’s where the money that is awarded comes from. If one gender or the other is unable to attract viewership then they are worth less (within the context of the sport) and should be paid accordingly.
We should all be equal
No two people are equal

This just about sums it up doesn’t it. The prevailing sexism in today’s modern society. When women are successful in sport they are then described as “masculine” and when they exploit advertisement opportunities, like men have for decades, they are negatively compared to talentless TV reality personalities who have never achieved anything other than being famous, just for being famous.

Not really Draculina as it’s an even playing field or should be… For example in the Champions League let’s say a team from Romania progresses past the group stages, they get paid the same amount as say Barcelona for progressing. UEFA don’t start getting into politics about how Barcelona are superior and should get more. Wimbledon could do the exact same thing with the pot too, split it evenly between them all, sometimes the women’s game is much more exciting as more rallies go on.

Sport is a context of physical ability and skill, that is inherantly masquline.

So let assume that men’s tenis generates more revenue from advertising because more people watch it. To pay men and women the same you either have to pay women more than they earn, which wouldn’t happen because it’s operating at a loss. Or you pay the men less, where would you suggest the leftover money goes?

A silly analogy as all teams play the same 90 minutes but women play the equivalent of 54 minutes in wimbledon.
In addition to that all the teams play each other and are not kept apart in the latter stages due to ability differences
