No chance.

There's not one bloke in the mens top 50 that would lose to any woman.

LOL. Yes, it reminds me of that old 'Two Ronnies' miniseries about a " dark time in the future when man finally succumbs to his age old enemy - woman ". Men can only watch old John Wayne westerns in secret viewings and all the women march around like Nazi soldiers issuing orders to men.

The light at the end of the tunnel is that most young women these days consider it an insult to be called 'feminists'. Most of the shrieking desk thumpers are in their 40's plus. They're old, left over 70's student radicals with pointless 'political science ' degrees with fuck all to do all day other than add up how many men went to the moon versus how many black, lesbian, HIV+, disabled, assylum seeking women set foot there and then wanting new laws to " crack down " on it.

Thank God for slappers. Love 'em.

Any male club pro would beat any woman player.

There will therefore be tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of men who would beat Williams or Mauresmo.

Mart, what are you on about? Everyone knows that political correctness originated during the inter-war years and stemmed from the ?Frankfurt School? - The Institute for Social Research at Frankfurt University, where a number of it?s founders, like George Lukacs, started transferring Marxist ideologies and techniques from economic to cultural and social issues. Also contributing to the rise of political correctness was post-modern philosophy, which emphasized cultural relativism and played down objective reality. When the Nazis came to power many leading lights of the ?Frankfurt School? fled to the US, and their way of thinking rapidly gained influence in US academia, which, to this day, has long been the stronghold, and main propagator, of Political Correctness.

There?s few quicker around the court than Serena. She went into the 2007 Aus Open heavier, but didn?t stop her going all the way and taking Sharapova apart in the final. Men vs. top Lady: no one inside the top 400/500 ?that?s John Lloyd?s opinion.

"Just where the fuck to get your views from?"

Hey, steady on, Bob. Remember the old ticker.

It?s a good question, though. I?ll try and shed a little light on it. My views have evolved over a number of decades and are based on what I have observed of the human condition. Our collective arrogance, selfishness, and delusional stupidity, interspersed with warmth, kindness, and wisdom, as we scramble for position and status within the group. None of us are exempt, least of all those who professes that they are. Having always had a strong sense of self and heightened awareness of the world I have not felt it necessary to buy into a set of pre-packaged beliefs and values - an ?ism? handed down by some nutty nineteenth century bourgeois European - as most of these 'isms' seem to be based on flawed appraisals of the human condition. Instead, I preferred to formulate my very own rational beliefs (though of course the ?rational? bit is subjective) based on what I have seen and experienced.

Regarding female tennis players ? You suggest that becuase you and your own immediate peer group of middleclass lefties (half a dozen of you?) don?t feel that women tennis players should receive equal pay, that this is evidence that my whole case is flawed. But you and your pals only represent a minute portion of the middleclass leftie spectrum. There are always exceptions and anomalies. It?s said that Wimbledon officials bowed to ?public pressure? in awarding equal pay. But what pressure? I haven?t noticed much pressure for equal pay in tennis on my old chavy council estate ? no petitions, no public meetings and no hand wringing. As far as I am aware there wasn?t any pressure at all for equal pay in tennis amongst non-PC working folk. But what I was really railing against was the general PC consensus on equal pay across the board, not just in tennis. Which in many instances seems to be a case of equal pay for doing a lesser job. The equality bit being justified by nutty feminists saying that a checkout girl at Tescos is doing an equally valuable job to a steeplejack or airline pilot. Anyhow, here are a couple of middleclass people calling for equal pay at Wimbledon, regardless of merit.





It?s true that I have not carried out a rigorous scientific study or survey. But do I have to submit ?a paper? before I am allowed to voice an opinion? If that were the case there would be little need for a forum ? as all we could practically say would be ?Hello? and ?Goodnight?. I'm just a social commentator, like many others, simply voicing an opinion. Reflecting the world as I perceive it. What I say may go over the heads of many (the Bang Babe Bollocks/Chaver Channel mob?) but others will smirk knowingly. They will recognize the types of people and traits I?m talking about. Yet others will shuffle uncomfortably in their shoes, as they recognize themselves and, in many instances, feel embarrassed, irritated, and aggrieved. But that is my mission - to prompt those people to maybe have a reappraisal of their values and belief systems. If they got it right first time, then why do they feel embarrassed or foolish now? Thanks for listening.

The last part of this is quite true, & I was thinking of posting it in regard to the ' Feminist Attack on Porn' thread, but decided you Brits would not be interested. Some areas of academia here are extremely PC, but in general, Id say the UK is more so than the US, esp. the South.

BTW-the latest thing (not that Im up on such stuff, so take this w/ a large grain of salt) seems to be that porn is a positive feminist statement, a la the Annabel Chong gangbang (not that that is recent I suppose).There is a minority feminist viewpoint for example that saying only males like viewing hardcore is a MCP thing. Havent heard or read about attacks on porn from that sector here in quite a while, but I am not very informed.
