Equal Pay for Equal Work? He Thinks Not
Hooray for the lady tennis players who are demanding equal prize money for the Aussie Open. Aside from playing an inferior level of tennis, early-round matches frequently over in 45 minutes, and title matches requiring 60% of the effort (two out of three instead of men’s three out of five), they have every right to expect equal money.
Go for it, gals. Stand up for your principles--then get a job.
