All athletes should gain the same respect from other people. Women should not be discriminated because they're women. They are athletes and they should be treated like athletes, not 'female athletes.'
This image demonstrates two men watching a women's running event. His comment is very disrespectful. Women can be athletes too and therefore should be respected as athletes and nothing less.
The women's team is not fighting for more money than the Men's team, they are just fighting for at least equal pay, especially because they have been winning more games and making more money for the federation than the Men's team is.
In this cartoon, the women has multiple "legs" and and its moving all over the place whereas the man is just standing there. This cartoon follows up the previous cartoon because the Women's team is getting payed less, even though they have been making more money for the federation and getting more publicity for it. They are doing much more than the Men's team, however the Men's team is getting all the credit and making much more money.
This cartoon demonstrates two men joking about a cancelled women's football game. By saying that the game was cancelled because their "colors clashed" is very offensive. If it was a men's football game that was cancelled, there would never be an assumption that the reason they weren't playing was because of their team colors. This shows that even if there was a more valid and serious reason as to why the game was cancelled, women are still judged.
