My Sherona. Don't start that kind of posting.

Co-signed. As childish as it is out-of-line.

That's a pretty good looking dude in that case. In fact that must make me gay. 'Cos I think she's lovely.

It's classic sexism AND racism to say she looks half man half woman. Athletic women have been derided this way since the dawn of female sports. Ditto black female athletes.

Very true. Female body image is complicated enough. When you add an athletic body, (and heaven forbid, athletic superiority,) some folks get defensive to the point of ugly. I applaud Front for the above, btw.

You know years ago I must admit I found her a bit muscular and she was definitely a bit more muscular back a few years ago but she's without doubt a very attractive woman. Forget the unflattering outfits she wears at times, like in Brisbane. Many of the players look totally different off court. But Serena's clearly very pretty.

Really, they must be gay, that's your response?

You're denigrating gays to make a point?

You have missed Front's point by a wide mark. And no one is denigrating gay people. Why don't you try reading that again, and see if you can't figure out what the point is. And how about a deep breath before jumping to conclusions 'round these parts, eh? Sheesh!

Poor thing, when they can't win honestly they become angry. Ah but the mutants are so sad.

Er, firstly I'm male and married to a woman, ok. And secondly I meant 'cos I think those photos show Serena's in fact very pretty so if my sherona seems to think she looks like half a man then I must actually be gay and like men, which clearly I don't being straight and married to a woman. Translation: I think Serena is very attractive as those photos were meant to illustrate.
