It's a perfect match.

A pin end and a hammer are meant to be together.

It's not a 'wildcard' based on historical greatness. It's a place earned on merit.

The issue here is not whether these are wild cards, tour cards or amazon gift cards.
Your regular Joe can't enter the women's tour and earn a card that route, it doesn't make any sense from an equality standpoint since Ng and Reanne can do the opposite; entering Q school.
I'm not sure about the technicality of that but I'm willing to bet they can also enter the amateur competition that grants a tour card. Feel free to prove me wrong.
I'd me more than happy to have women on the tour provided they earn their spot, people mentioning White or aussie qualifiers make no sense whatsoever. If Reanne and Ng were aussie sure as hell they could enter that way too. It's gonna be hilarious if we are going to have an aussie woman #1 not being able to go through that weak ass field but earning the spot via WSS.

Who would be who in this nonsensical comparison? I take it it's just a joke not to respond to my argument.

League two teams are naturally eligible to enter FA Cup, if they were to slip beyond level 4 of the system they would no longer be eligible.Iranu wrote:League Two teams (female snooker players) are entered into the FA Cup (pro snooker tour) despite not having the many advantages that Premier League clubs (male players) enjoy.
Oh yes they are getting them, you can't just pretend they are not wild cards calling them under another name. Tour cards are normally awarded to legends, which you say I should be outraged at them be elected, or the other routes to qualification. My point, that you are pretending not to get, is again: your regular Joe can't enter a woman's competition and take an easy road for that card, which makes this the opposite of gender equality since they (the women) can take the regular routes to qualification. This bringing continents into the argument is humiliating for gender equality.Iranu wrote:Your point in this conversation is that wymynfolk don’t deserve ‘wildcards’ (that they aren’t getting).
This is literally whataboutism.Iranu wrote:Plenty of male players have received similar, and less deserving, wildcards. Can you point me to your outrage at these provisions?
