Battle of the Sexes - Definition

Battle of the Sexes is a game where male and female contestants challenge each other on trivia questions. The principle of the game is to demonstrate the imbalance between male and female genders as they compete. The concept was created by Perth radio announcer Paul Redman.

The game initially began as a regular call-in radio contest, whereby one male and one female contestant would compete answering trivia questions. A leaderboard by gender was kept from day-to-day. The concept spread to affiliated radio stations across Australia.

In 1998, the concept was converted into a short-lived television show on the Ten Network.

The concept lives on in radio, as well as in a series of board games which allow the game to be played at home.
