Why Should Women Receive Equal Prize Money ?

Question

I was just thinking whilst ive been watching wimbledon this week....Why should the women be getting the same prize money as the men ?

This is not a sexist question in anyway, i was just thinkin in terms of a tennis fan, regardless of gender.

Here's the bare facts....

Womans Tennis - Compared to Mens

Generates less money.

Generates less interest.

Woman play shorter matches.

alot of the matches are massively one sided meaning alot can finish under an hour.

You see less quality tennis.

In this years wimbledon there has been more excitement in 1 mens singles match (Murray-Gasquet) than the whole of the womans tournament together!

Yet all the women in tennis have constantly campaigned to receive equal prize money to the Men.

From a TENNIS (not gender) point of view anyone can justify to me why Women deserve equal prize money ?
