About this Quote

This quote by Billie Jean King speaks with the double standard that exists on the planet of sports. Ladies are frequently neglected and underestimated in the males's arena, and when they do get attention, it is typically for the wrong factors. Women are frequently viewed as inferior to men in the sports world, and this quote speaks to the unfairness of this scenario. It is unfortunate that ladies need to defend recognition and respect in a male-dominated field, which they are typically evaluated more harshly than their male counterparts. This quote highlights the need for more gender equality in the sports world, and for ladies to be offered the very same chances and regard as males. It is a suggestion that ladies must be celebrated for their accomplishments, and not evaluated for their gender.
