Equality can be forced upon people. Is that sucking it up? Bully says what bully wants.

Well, to determine things like this we would have to look at specific examples. Off the top of my head, where do you stand on say....equal prize money between the sexes for tennis winners? Maybe this is a good way to see how we view these two different concepts of equality and fairness.

Maybe this is a good way to see how we view these two different concepts of equality and fairness. I love how your first club out of the bag is about physicality. There's not equal prize money between men's tournaments - it's based on the revenue they generate. If a women's tournament was to draw the same revenue as a men's tournament, then the players would get the same prize money. Here's what I mean. If I and a female colleague - of the same age and experience - bring in the same sales numbers, should she make 70% of what I make?

The men even took a bit of a pay cut. *awaits a 'why don't you live there then' response from some dimlow. Edited by nickgusset (09 Oct 2017 9.48pm)

We can move onto other areas if you like but physicality is an obvious area of difference between men and women as nature cares nothing about equality. All the tennis majors pay equal prize money between the sexes. A large chuck of their revenue comes from TV deals. Yet more people view male tennis matches. Viewing figures for Wimbledon 2015 finals: UK (BBC) Wimbledon men’s final (BBC) – 9.2m viewers Wimbledon ladies’ final (BBC) – 4.3m viewers US (ESPN) Men’s final most viewed day, despite no representatives from US and Serena competing the day before. 24.4m live minutes viewed – the most ever for a single day of tennis Australia (Channel Seven) Wimbledon men’s final– 1.2m viewers Wimbledon ladies’ final – 700k viewers Prize money should be more evenly distributed based on viewing figures. At women-only events female players are paid significantly less compared with similar sized men's events. I have zero problem with players of any gender being paid their commercial worth. Here, I present to you a clear difference between equality and fairness. Edited by Stirlingsays (09 Oct 2017 9.49pm)

England women are paid and the men aren't. The men do get a match fee of around £1,500 or they did a few years back. Not sure if that has changed.

The call for new balls might cause confusion though.

Still, regardless of fairness and meritocracy, until they filed an equal opportunities lawsuit last year, they used to be paid a quarter of what the men got. They won the dispute and got a raise, but they still earn less than the men despite being more successful and more of a ratings draw.

You cut me off because there are numerous obvious examples where we have equality without fairness. Your point about Hawking is a huge strawman. You obviously don't like it when the facts hurt your feelings.
