Men don't watch it near as much as they watch other men compete. Do we not remember Secretary of Defense Tim Howard? Way more Americans watched that than this past world cup.

"That’s according to audited financial statements from the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) obtained by The Wall Street Journal. In 2016, women’s games generated $1.9 million more in revenue than men’s games. From 2016 to 2018, women’s games generated approximately $50.8 million in revenue, compared with $49.9 million for men’s games."

Of course if the men qualify for the world cup, that alone exceeds the revenue the women could pull in in a four year period.
Sure, but that still means the generated more, and for that reason they deserve more.
