The reality is sexist. I would simply think that this comes down to the organizations being able to get a lot more money as a form of revenue from the men's competition compared to the women's. So they also tend to show men better treatment. Is it okay to treat men and women equally when when are the ones doing the bulk of the earning?
And last time I checked women wanted to have the freedom of wearing anything they want. There is even something called "free the nipple" movement going on. Why is it when women benefit from sexism they don't say anything but whenever it doesn't benefit them they start to complain?
In this case, it is not about something that the women voluntarily agreed to, but about the decision of the organizers, and no one asked the women for their opinion.
After the final matches, only the girls were not allowed to give the usual speech although they wanted to speak. Maybe the organizers thought that the women had nothing smart to say and that it was a waste of time?
As for the ball girls, do you think they had a choice whether they wanted to look sexy and wear short sleeved tops and short skirts or they also had no choice?
If the girls could decide for themselves that they wanted to look sexy and wear shorter skirts, and that was their choice, then I have no problem with that, but I kind of doubt that they could decide the length of their tops and skirts.
So what is the purpose of those girls at the tennis match? To do the same job as the boys and help the tennis players during the match or to wear as skimpy clothes as possible, look sexy and attract the male crowd to the tennis match?
In that case, it might be better for the organizers to simply hire strippers to strip naked on the tennis court, if that's the only purpose of the girls at the match.
If the purpose of ball girls is the same as ball boys, to help tennis players during a match, then they should have equal rights and wear exactly the same clothes.
Otherwise, in my opinion, this case is about sexism and the humiliation and exploitation of women.
So what is the purpose of giving the girls the same treatment as the boys when we all know that they are not even as entertaining as the boys and also not going to bring in the amount of money that the boys can?
I am not saying that the girls should be deprived of any rights. We all know that women are not as physically capable as men even though women are certainly better at some other aspects of life when compared to men. But when you are not as capable as man you should not expect the same treatment as men as well.
Everyone is saying that what the organizers did is sexist. But sexism is the reason why there is a women counterpart of every sport right now.
As I said, women only complain when sexism doesn't benefit them. If they feel so violated and humiliated why don't they get better and bring more revenue compared to men?
