Феминизм против физиологии.

reytsman — 16.11.2016 Прочитал интересную историю на анекдот.ру, думал фигня, оказалось нет, всё примерно так и было:

В 1998 году во время Открытого чемпионата Австралии сёстры Серена и Винус Уильямс опрометчиво заявили, что легко обыграют любого мужчину, занимающего в рейтинге теннисистов строчку ниже 200-й. На вызов откликнулся немецкий теннисист Карстен Брааш -203-я ракетка мира. Он явился на матч, подзаправившись пивком и не особо напрягаясь обыграл сначала Серену а затем и Винус со счётом 6:1 и 6:2 соответственно.

1998: Karsten Braasch vs. the Williams sisters

Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[29] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams, aged 17 and 16 respectively, had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager."[30][31] The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,[32] after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two beers. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.[33] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance." He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun."[34] Braasch said the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier, and that men put spin on the ball that the women can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.

An 18 year old 4th ranked Serena Williams claimed she could compete with men in professional sport; the US Open champion believing she could take on and beat the best players in the men's game. Nothing ever came to be from this claim.[35]
