The women are like "it's unfair we cant make as much money as the men's team".

This reminds me of the issue with the US women's soccer team whining about their pay. Turns out that there was a veritable mountain of documentation showing that they not only refused the same pay scheme that the men's team was getting, but that the pay scheme they were getting was (alongside the benefits that only they were getting) was actually more lucrative than what the men were getting.

The only actual benefit that the men were getting--and that women wanted on top of everything else they already received--was, IIRC, some sort of performance or appearance bonus.
