Serena Is a Champion, Stop Talking About Her Body

[HassleCat]

4. She is an athlete, after all

She's big and strong, with real muscles. They do this a lot with female athletes, expecting them to be good at the sport, and look feminine and cutesy at the same time. It rarely happens with men, but its funny when it does. Years ago, Peggy Fleming was doing commentary on a men's figure skating competition, and there was this one guy who was really buffed. His dad owned a Gold's Gym, and he spent some time there, and it showed. Poor Peggy could not contain herself, making all sorts of comments about how this guy had the best body on the ice, etc. We can laugh at that, because boys and men don't have nearly the same problems as girls and women when it comes to being judged by their looks.
