Oh, if only it could be that simple. Other than the fact that Venus would have an even easier time of it than Billie Jean, that is. The rest I can pretty much guess, because it looks a lot like what happened in 1973. The guys would bet the guy. The women would bet Venus.
Attitudes run bone deep.
Attitudes are the stain you wear out an elbow rubbing away, and then everything dries and the thing is still there, faint but visible. And so I live in a country now where my little girl can be a doctor or a lawyer or a professional basketball player, but also where her president is pushing a budget that eliminates contraception from the health coverage of female federal employees. I live in a country where the same budget, on the other hand, hasn't ruled out paying for Viagra for male employees. I live in a country where it's become fashionable to attack Title IX because some schools are eliminating men's programs, but where hardly anyone seriously questions the necessity of those eliminations. I wasn't at all surprised.
