Thats basically the route of it ... everything is male dominated. How many women to coach at high level none. That purely cant be because they are not "as good" as men but just they dont have equal access and opportunity.
So, okay pay is equal at high class profile events such as world tennis tournaments but it will take a long time to trickle down to all levels of sport and male activites ie. snooker and racing
why should females coaches be seen by Im with stupid as a thing of the future?
Because no women are in the profession apart from maybe in the women's game.
What you don't want is women being given the jobs just as a token gesture showing how society is moving forward. People should be given the jobs based on merit and their ability to do that job. Once a woman comes along with the capabilities then a club should take her on based on that.
There have been one or two reasonably successful female motor racing drivers, though none have been taken on in F1, people like Paula Cook (before she died in a crash at Oulton Park) made a decent enough career out of the lower rungs of the racing ladder.
You only have to look at the abuse people like Mike Newell dish out to women to see just how far sport has to come before there's tolerance, let alone equality.
Except for the fact if you're a guy doing it you're going to get a lot of action because all the horsey ladies like men with horses. Apparently.
