Equal pay is a no-brainer, should be a must!

Why are we still talking about equal pay in the 21st century? It must be made illegal to pay a woman less than a man just because she’s a woman! But what I cannot understand is how a man is expected to play 4 hours of tennis, entertaining people at the venue for 4 hours and handing advertisers 4 hours to advertise but get paid the same as a woman who has played 2 hours of tennis? To achieve equality, surely both men & women should be paid hourly rates, which should be the same e.g. £500,000 an hour to both Roger Federer and Serena Williams so that if one spends 4 hours on court and the other spends 2, they get paid £2m and £1m respectively but at the same hourly rate.It is interesting that female footballers are happy to use the name of brand established over the past 100+ years e.g. Arsenal Ladies. I am fairly certain that if this group had started from scratch as North London Ladies, progress will be a lot slower than what has been achieved under the Arsenal Ladies banner
