And she was allowed standard serve rules? Why the fuck would she have let herself be embarrassed like that? That's so much worse than just losing. (EDIT: She was also allowed only one serve, but that's still a massive advantage to her, as a man's first serve is massively more threatening than a woman's. Not having a second serve shuts that down.)
Holy shit, I'm pissed off.
We all knew he'd win, that fact that they wouldn't even let it happen fair and square is actually pretty enraging. What an actual abomination.
I guess the only saving grace for her is that she didn't win, that would have actually been more embarrassing.
I don't even regularly watch tennis, but for some reason this is really fucking pissing me off.

I had to look this up to understand it. For anyone else confused: if you fault on your first serve, you get a second. If you fault again, you lose the point. So people go all out on the first one. If they get a fault, they do a more careful one because of the risk of losing the point. For this match they changed it to fault once and lose the point. This change to the rules made them both rein in their ONLY serves but obviously he's going to be sacrificing way more power between all-out and precision.
You ask why she allowed herself to be embarrassed? It's probably because she thought without his first serve she had a chance. I bet she didn't think she'd lose.
Desired effect. Be aware that the point of that contest was never to prove some silly liberal point but because both the organizers and spectators are so far gone in their snark, nihilism and cynicism that watching humiliation rituals is the only thing that makes them feel anything. Then there are those who watch you watch them and derive pleasure from seeing your angry comments.
I suggest you check out from gentle society and go build a shack in the woods. Better way to channel your energy.
I dont blame you. I finally caught on myself when I saw those "my daily routine as X in Y company" videos that looked more like a adult daycare than anything else.
We have two countries living inside the same borders, both growing continually less interested in diplomacy, constantly spurred on to hate and underestimate each other. When a situation is unsustainable, collapse is inevitable.
Women facing the reality of their physical limitations is never going to happen, this the exact same as women actually taking accountability or being honest about how they compare to other women. It’s physically impossible for ~70-80% of women to do this.
I like this kind of anti-feminist posting. I bet a guy could pretty reliably rake in fake internet points by just being anti-women's-lib here. I can't imagine how retarded you'd have to be to screw up a gimmick like that.
Imagine if we didn't have a dickless right that actually had the chance to do that and instead decided to take single men's healthcare away because fuck you.
Dual citizen subversives aren't part of "we" either, so you still wouldn't count. And our current right is dickless because they have been corrupted by the likes of you. The right that is coming to replace them, however, will be whipping out an 18 inch dong and dropping it on the table right in front of all of you.
If it's your right, that dong is a strap-on and you're presenting it to your female handler to use on you. Nazism is literally the least masculine politics there is, the only ideology that couldn't win elections without dramatic skew in the electorate to make women's voice louder.
We need an anti-feminist, fiscally conservative and pro-freedom right. What was promised to us in Agenda 47.
They fuck kids like you do, they ban porn like you do, they support suppressing speech like you do, they want a world built around families like you do.
How long before Project 2025 makes you one of their layoffs, I wonder.
I assumed you meant the entire court was smaller. Maybe midway between the two so they were both equally off their game. Nope. Her side was smaller Some shots that would be in-bounds for him would now be out. Some shots that would be out-of-bounds for her will now be in. That's nuts.
And I thought nobody could make feminism any more comedic for me. I thought the needle was already at 11. You described a simple reality in front of my eyes and pushed it to ????/infinity
TERFs are navigating very treacherous waters. If they say this demonstrates men are better than women and thus shouldn't be in women's sport then all their gender pay gap arguments fall apart. If they continue to support women can do everything a man can do if not better then their argument to keep men out of women's sport falls apart.
I hope nobody interrupts them whilst they twist themselves into knots trying to reason this out using feminist religious doctrines.
even in gaming (still requiring quick reaction and quick thinking).. an average ranked male can beat a higher ranked female. only time females have a presence in high ranked gaming is if the participant are troons or the female is a autistic savant. basically, super super rare case.
For fucking real?!

It's probably because she got paid a fuckload of money by Emirates NBD.
I'M MAD!

Yep, I'm somewhat ashamed to admit it took me this long, and to my credit I stayed off twitter/x until the last couple of years...but..
It dawned on me after some article got me enraged, that THAT was the point of it. Its all for engagement, ragegagment if you will.
Why engage with something designed and engineered to make you feel bad emotions? Although its a great test to see how centered you are.
Feel calm? Just check out X. Still calm? You're a buddha.
I dont blame you. I finally caught on myself when I saw those "my daily routine as X in Y company" videos that looked more like a adult daycare than anything else.
All that rage-bait's profitable now, but it's gonna backfire when it pisses people off enough that we start getting death squads.
Commoditizing emotions.. younger me would be in awe, older me thinks we haven't thought this through as you point out.
In 2 more weeks right?

I like the #5 vs. #203 game in 1998 for this quote:

That's hilarious

Imagine if we did away with segregated sports, taxation, and the police protocols and courts that give unequal favor to women.

Whomstsoever could you be talking about, I wonder?
Trannies always screw it up.
Yes, of course. Meaningless platitudes are the only kind of anti-feminism you'd accept.
Imagine if we didn't have a dickless right that actually had the chance to do that and instead decided to take single men's healthcare away because fuck you.
Who's we Eurofag?
At the time the retards did this, I hadn't left America.

It happens the moment any woman is pinned on the ground by the man raping her. It’s just that nothing else will cause it to happen.
Here's some highlights.
This is PAIN.
He wins a point: Polite Applause
She wins a point: Raucous cheering
I watched it live, I genuinely believed he was going to throw it to get the bag. Sometimes it looked like he was trying to.
You know this might be the first time you aren't telling a lie in every sentence.
Because I absolutely believe that you watch tennis live.
You know I can't resist an opportunity to see women's sports and the shills like you who defend them forced to eat shit.
If it wasn't in a Muslim craphole, I'd have gone in person.
Ah yes, me. Stolid defender of *checks notes
Women's tennis.
Nah dude you missed the point on this one lol.
You defend the government obsessed with "muh women's sports", that cancer is your responsibility.
You think nobody saw you snuck extra funding for women's sports facilities into the "keep trannies out" bill, you scum?
Ah yes, I defend the UK government lol. As if I haven't said more than once that we ought to invade Britain just to rid them of the mohammadans.
They fuck kids like you do, they ban porn like you do, they support suppressing speech like you do, they want a world built around families like you do.

Why does she already have career earnings 3x more than him?
Time for equality

We just won’t have consistent logic sucker!
MAGA will bail them out.
WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO COMPETE
fuck feminism and fuck this currybitch on comm immediately running interference

or being support like healer.
Don't fall into petty stereotypes...
All the best support mains in the competitive scenes are, or were, men, too.
