In a new deal, the men’s and women’s national soccer teams will be paid an equal rate for the first time in history. And I feel... hopeful?
to violate women’s right to make their own decisions about what is best for their bodies and livelihood, forcing underserved women to scrounge up money and travel across state lines to get healthcare, achieving equal pay is just one of too-many rungs on an extremely tall ladder leading to the one, simple thing women are asking for: Basic decency and respect. It’s not lost on me that in 2022, one—JUST ONE—organization has gotten its shit together to make pay equity happen.
While we wait for other leagues and industries to catch up, we can at the very least celebrate the women of US soccer who have, at long last, forced their governing body to cough up those pesky missing 17 cents. As for “The Princess and the Pea?” Fuck the prince and the queen. That poor girl deserved a good night’s sleep. Just as, regardless of sex, regardless of gender, and regardless of sport, we all deserve the right to fair and equal compensation.
