    Why not Tiger Woods?

    Here's a hint. You won't see an image of Tiger Woods mowing the lawn in a tuxedo until Tiger himself chooses to be photographed that way.

    Unless you have special knowledge that Ms. Gulbis was coerced, or Photoshopped, or that she didn't sign a stack of releases, or that she or her gender does not have agency, this image is merely an example of the single standard of cause and effect, choice and consequence.
