She has no issue with women’s tennis players being paid equally for their wins but needing to work less to get paid. Women need to win two out of three sets and men need three out of five.

I’m sure if the titanic would sink today women would be fine with the lifeboats being filled with equal numbers of men and women.

The federation argued that "the overall soccer-playing ability required to compete at the senior men's national team level is materially influenced by the level of certain physical attributes, such as speed and strength, required for the job," according to the documents.

I agree that the $ brought in by the women's and mens teams respectively is not the same and thus equal pay is not equitable.
That said, I'm not sure what this means.

I could have sworn women possess both speed and strength required to play soccer.

Basically means you have to be physically capable to compete at a certain level.... even the top women soccer players are not on the same level as the men. IIRC, the women's team got beat by a high school men's team because even high school boys are athletic superior to professional women athletes. Let that sink in.

What does that have to do with the statement though?
I think is obvious to everyone men and women are not the same physically.
Imagine if you just switched out the words "Men's" to "Women's" you'd say, yeah, that is what is required to play for the Women's National team. Kinda obvious.

Considering there must be enough life boats for all passengers I would imagine so.
