i <3 the french

So, I'm realllly busy (with feminist theory reading - yay!), but I had to post some things...


First post, because I'm an athlete and I care about these things...

The French Open announced that they will now give equal amounts of prize money to men and women competitors.

In terms of prize money, the U.S. Open and Australian Open had already been paying the men and women equally. With the French Open's new policy, that leaves Wimbledon as the only Grand Slam to pay women less.


Only a matter of time before the good ol' boys club of Wimbledon catches up with the rest of the world.....
