Women's tennis has been around for a very long time - we're talking about the 1800s.

We need to continue not only to advocate for women but to have men advocating for women.

Men have no cause to criticize women about the way they are about weddings. Because men are like that about sports, but it never ends. At least women, after the wedding, say it wasn't that big a deal and they're never going to look at the DVD again. Men never stop being crazy about sports.
