shrug, if she has advantages due to her physique is that her fault? All shapes and sizes, if she's a girl she's a girl. Hypothetically can she get pregnant and give birth? If the answer's yes, not much more to measure here.
Once again BS shows it's bias, and immediately takes sides with the women, regardless of circumstances. Sorry BS, take a look at the news.
...so she acted out. is that acceptable? It's a yes or no question. so white people get penalized less than blacks for the same offenses, well it's been that way forever, and for countless different examples, which black rap artists would be very happy to tell you.
So if Anna Kournikova did likewise, she'd probably be off the hook, being white, pretty, all the things that Serena Williams is not. Is this fair? "Fair" is irrelevant, we only know full well what the results are.
And please stop continually drawing comparisons between a man and a woman. Come on. Let's see more examples of other women tennis players having acted out(there's been tons of instances) and see how they were let off the hook, but Serena was not.
For once Broadsheet is not blaming men for women's woes. Article is incredible for this point alone. Keep up the good work.
With that aside - thinking positively sure, the real test comes when life deals you a harsh blow. Think positively at a funeral? Not quite an appropriate time.
How practical is it to live the way these women live? Can you afford these lifestyles on an average person's budget? What are the things that these happy photos don't show us about the trade-offs and things you give up, in return? Maybe these trade-offs are meaningless to them, but could mean a great deal to YOU. There's a lot going on behind the scenes that we don't see.
Is there someone/something behind the financing, or some powerful enabler, that allows these women, to do what they do?
...so they were just doing their job. In this case their job is an "evil" one, cleaning up after other people's messes(in this case, the homes they were unable to continue to pay for).
It's just another bottom feeder job no-one respects. What about the people whose job is to primarily offshore jobs? Would you people here, consider that role "evil" too?
Any and every job can be evil. Accountant? You could have been spending your time doing something more in touch with humanity, like peace work, instead of crunching numbers which helps only the business. Doctor? Why are you earning a living here, when you could be in an impoverished country that needs you more than the rich people here?
Internet tough guy? You could have been doing something USEFUL outdoors. I could go on forever here. Bottom line, the author's just another cog in the machine, just like we all are.
