🎾 THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES
September 20
On September 20, 1973, Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in a tennis match that captured the entire world. Played before 90,000 fans at the Houston Astrodome and broadcast to an estimated 50 million viewers, the match became far more than a game — it was a landmark moment in the fight for gender equality, with King's victory sending a powerful message about women's capabilities and independence.

A quotation from Abigail Adams

I long to hear that you have declared an independancy — and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation.

Abigail Adams (1744-1818) American correspondent, First Lady (1797-1801)
Letter (1776-03-31) to John Adams

The Dopamine Loop

The Dopamine Loop
by Stewart Stafford

I was down on the beach,
She was within my reach,
I wandered over to her,
And her delectable purr.

I said, “Tell me your name,”
God knows it’s always the same,
Megan had that ironed-out hair,
Fish lips that shone everywhere.

Tattooed, pierced and ripped,
She had the masc thing shipped,
A bikinied cyborg in wait,
With fembot Beckys as bait.

I told her I was the prize,
She rolled pretty green eyes,
A mirage of the male gaze,
I’ll never change my ways.

I asked her if she was free,
She said, “Yes,” but not to me,
Swiping on her phone screen,
With an ick-filtered gleam.

So I did the walk of shame,
From this rigged dating game,
Megan giggling with her girlies —
“Shoot your shot”? A joke, surely.

The algorithm said discard —
Netflix and chill got barred,
Ego death resurrected in DMs,
Touché! “Cherchez la femme.”

From cattle market app to an OnlyFans link,
Flesh water abounds, but none to drink.

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

In the jungles of central Klatch there are, indeed, lost kingdoms of mysterious Amazonian princesses who capture male explorers for specifically masculine duties. These are indeed rigorous and exhausting and the luckless victims do not last long.*
 
* This is because wiring plugs, putting up shelves, sorting out the funny noises in attics, and mowing lawns can eventually reduce even the strongest constitution.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 9, Eric (1990)

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

Not for the first time she reflected that there were many drawbacks to being a swordswoman, not least of which was that men didn’t take you seriously until you’d actually killed them, by which time it didn’t really matter anyway.

This tennis court is by 'design' and not a mistake giving #ArynaSabalenka (woman's nos 1) a chance against #NickKyrgios (Mens 671) in the #BattleOfTheSexes tennis match in Dubai yesterday.

Sabalenka's side of the court was reduced in size by 9% in the hope of a more even exhibition game did not pan out.

A quotation from George Carlin

Here’s all you need to know about men and women: Women are crazy and men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid. It’s not the only reason, but it’s a big one. And by the way, if you don’t think men are stupid, check the newspaper. […] And if you don’t think women are crazy, ask a man. That’s the one thing men aren’t stupid about: they know for sure, way deep down in their hearts, that women are straight-out fucking nuts.

George Carlin (1937-2008) American comedian

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but principally by catchwords; and the little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.

52 years ago today!

#BattleOfTheSexes

Bobby Riggs and I played in the Battle of the Sexes inside the Houston Astrodome, with a global audience of 90M watching, 52 years ago today.

This was never just a tennis match.

It was about equality, respect, and demonstrating that women belong on the same stage as men, in sports, in the boardroom, and beyond.

I was 29 years old, carrying the hopes of so many women who had been told to sit down, be quiet, or know their place. But we knew better.

And we knew the power of showing up.

The battle isn’t over, but time has demonstrated that progress is possible.

Keep showing up.

And together, let's keep going for it.

🗓️ On this day in 1973,
Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in the “Battle of the Sexes” at the Houston Astrodome.

A landmark moment for gender equality in sports.
Tennis, but make it culture war.
Girl Power, ladies. 💪🎾

(That said… Riggs was in his 50s. King was in her prime. So, uh... kinda a rigged match.)

POLYMESTOR:                    What need
For talk? The sum of all the infamies
The tongues of men, past, present, and to come,
Ascribe to woman, I’ll endorse, and say
There’s no such monster bred on land or sea;
And none has dealings with their kind, but know it.

   STEVE: (to Susan) It is not scientifically possible for a man to know what a woman wants. And that’s not fair, because you always know what we want.

A quotation from Euripides

MEDEA: Of all creatures that live and understand,
we women suffer most.
In the first place we must, for a vast sum,
buy a husband; what’s worse,
with him our bodies get a master.
And here’s what’s most at stake:
Did we get a man who’s good or bad?
