As a sidebar I think I'm just getting stupidly incensed by this because I'm fatigued from getting riled up all the time by the knee-jerk reactions of John Reid at the Home Office and so have picked on a different government minister to rant about today.
They are like fucking movie stars it's all about bums on seats so irrespective of whether they are making a 3 hour epic or a short 90 minute movie they get payed for their box office draw i.e. for bringing in the punters.
So even though the work is seemingly unequal because the men play longer that's irrelevant because the actually work they are being payed for is bringing in the crowds who are paying to see them play.
Now this works for me and I'm happy or least I am until I find out that the male players are actually much more popular with the spectattors and more people pay to see their matches than they do to see the women's matches.
