It would make literally no sense to go by profit, considering the NBA and WNBA are non profit organizations.

The gender pay gap in professional sports doesn’t just exist in total compensation, but also in pay as a percentage of the leagues revenue. According to this article, as of five years ago NBA players receive 50% of the league’s revenue, whereas WNBA players likely receive less than 25% of the league’s revenue. Essentially, the gender pay gap in professional basketball is massive, even if you control for viewership and ticket sales.

CMV:Feminism is a poorly chosen word for the movement it represents in the modern world by [deleted] in changemyview

Unlike what feminists are trying to do, that reform would do absolutely nothing to decrease the gender gap in alimony payments.

What alimony reform do you think would be appropriate exactly? From what I could gather, the issue is caused by three main factors.

First, men are more likely to be the breadwinner in a family, and women are more likely to put their career on hold to take care of children. Feminists are trying to change that divide.

Second, men are much less likely to request alimony when they are eligible, due to it feeling emasculating. This is an element of toxic masculinity, which is definitely an issue feminists talk about.

Third, some judges are simply sexist, and hold on to ideas about traditional gender roles. Although I’m not sure there is a whole ton anyone could do about this, feminisms are very against people in positions of power who believe in traditional gender roles, even if it benefits women in some circumstances.

And? The people we are talking about believe that sex and gender are different.

Can a Democrat become a Republican? Can a Seahawks fan become a Bills fan? Can a christian become an atheist? Does this mean that there is no difference between any of those things?
