If anyone's deserving of GQ's Woman of the Year honor, it's 23-time Grand Slam tennis champion Serena Williams. So why is there controversy surrounding her cover? It all comes down to the fine print. Literally.
Fans are taking issue with the fact that the word "Woman" in "Woman of the Year" is in quotation marks. Alongside the image of the 37-year-old looking fierce in a black bodysuit accessorized by a gold chain-link Chanel belt, the word "man" (not in quotes) is slashed, and "Woman" is hand-written above it.
Not a HUGE controversy -- but lots of comments. At 7:14 am -- not trending at all
Why did they feel the need to put it in quotes?
I ask not because I'm being hypersensitive -- just curious.
I think you are being a wee bit overly dramatic.
After reading the comments, it seems the designer who hand-wrote that on the cover has done other things for her. One of her tennis outfits has "Logo" on it, her shoes say "Air", and there's a down jacket that says "Down Jacket" on the back. There's a small asterisk next to the "Woman", and at the bottom of the page it lists the designer and says he wrote the word.
