Default Is football at a stage where male and females could compete together.

What do you think?

Without looking I'd guess there's at least a couple of tranawomen in the women's teams. In which case, yes.

Won't happen.

Women's football doesn't get as many viewers, and pay for televised or live events is dependant upon viewers. Then there's sponsorships etc...

An actor wouldn't get paid the same for.a big Hollywood movie versus an indie production.

Edit: not saying any of that is fair, just that it is. As far as I know, the women's England team is more successful than the men's!

The women would put the men to shame. Far too bruising for the mens egos both on and off the pitch.

anyone who has watched womens football and mens football knows there is no comparison between the two games. A complete non starter. Its like women playing men at tennis

No physically men would barge women off the ball with ease and they can run faster generally

The women just want to prove they can play football without being patronised. They just want it to be a level playing field, they just want the recognition. It has very little to do with fortune & fame , it's more pure. But they want to be treated equally therefore it's silly that they get paid so low when the men get paid soo much .

Last year's Euro is probably the best I've seen Men's England team play, so I think Gareth is doing something RIGHT with them.

It was embarrassing in the past .

To be fair in this case it's not really that simple... only the top players in the top leagues are getting paid millions, lower-league professional footballers aren't getting paid that sort of money. Same in any sport really.

It's a tough one in sports to be honest - ideally, yes, the money in both would be closer to the same but there just isn't the same interest in women's sport, and less interest = less money.

But surely they'd be MORE INTEREST if the women got more RECOGNITION like the men ?.

Well why don't they pay the men less then ?. I know you're saying it's only the top players getting paid alot ,but why do they need to be paid so much . It has become more about money& deals & less about the game over the years.

I'm not even a football fan lol . But I use to get sucked into world cup & euro sometimes.
