NEW YORK (AP) - Tennis icon Billie Jean King is not mincing words about the many white women who voted for Donald Trump, saying they "really don't like themselves."

King, who led the fight for equal pay for women in tennis, also says she feels there is more misogyny now than when she defeated Bobby Riggs in the famous "Battle of the Sexes" match in 1973, the subject of the new movie starring Emma Stone and Steve Carell.

"I think there's a lot of misogyny - I think it's higher now than it was," King said in an interview Tuesday evening at a Manhattan awards ceremony. She was being honored by the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation, which provides gymnastics programs to underserved communities.

"What was Riggs, like 90 when she beat him?"

Also, Riggs played with a handicap. He had to play in the doubles lines while Billy Jean only had to play within the singles lines.

Riggs threw the match. . Riggs had just mopped the floor against the #1 ranked women’s player to set up this match with King. He was a hustler supreme. He suckered me. I lost $50.

Riggs had serious debts to the mafia and threw the match after bowing to their pressure. He admitted it years later.

Why didn’t Slick Willie Clinton and Bathhouse Barry Obama “fix” the misogyny in the 16 years they were in office?

No, don’t bother. I don’t want to waste my time.

I am so sick of these women who missed the whole point of the women’s movement of the sixties and seventies. Unless maybe the point they were mouthing then was not the real point all along.

...and that's the only reason this stupid bit of "news" exists at all.

Maybe BJ King is also signalling to Muchelle that she's available? For joint appearances, some tennis, and some bathhouse time?

Well, I’m upset with women who choose a homosexual lifestyle. So we’re even, Billie Jean.
