I can't believe the fuss people are making over the equal prize money for women in Wimbledon. The main reason (outright sexism aside) seems to be that women play 3 sets where men play 5 so it is therefore unfair to pay them as much because they do less work. Short sighted and oversimplified anyone?

Well I'm no tennis star, meh, but having done the moonwalk I learned that the walk itself was relatively trivial. It's the months of gruesome training beforehand that's the real work. Given that, I have no doubt that in tennis the women work just as hard as the men, maybe harder as they have to fight the common assumption that "women's tennis is rubbish".

In other news, I am rubbish at keeping up with my blog. Blah blah blah. Maybe it's because I'm a woman.
