Probably no more than this does you. Note the date.

In the US she can, however I don't think Wimbledon, Roland-Garros or Melbourne will see it that way.

Sad, but true.

Imagine if she said how LUCKY she was to have children and then still be eligible to compete at age 40, and what a wonderful opportunity for her, and how healthy she has been to do so.

What a different perspective.
Exactly! Excellent post! The left has and is actively attacking the traditional mother and father roles. We see what is happening to society as a result. As far as Serena, she is incredibly blessed and fortunate to have the life she has. There are so few women who can play sports the way she does and have a child while doing it. Lady, you need to appreciate how darn good you have it!

She’s really going to pis* off all those delusional idiots who think men can get pregnant. At least she understands what a woman is.

She's stating a reality. We are so impressed with a Tom Brady who has been able to stay in the game for so long. And all along he has been able to father how many kids?

It is a biological thing and seemingly unfair to women who have the same desire to keep striving for number one in her sport.

She talked about how hard it was after her first child to get back into top form. She's older now and another pregnancy will set her back.

Don't see it as some kind of woe is me I'm a woman. See it as more of a I am a competitive athlete that has sto make sacrifices for my family.
Exactly.
She is putting her family and having another child first before her career as most women do. Another pregnancy, in itself, at her age would put her out of commission for some time anyway. Something that does not interrupt a mans life.
I dont think she is complaining but just stating it is what it is. She can afford a string of nannies and she has it way easier than the majority of women and she has accomplished more than the majority of women but maybe she just wants to actually be present for her kids now. It does not appear that her husband is ready to be a SAHdad.
I'm not sure why stating those facts makes some people so defensive. I guess it makes it harder to always make women out as the bad guys. But merely stating the obvious seems to be all it takes. I'm sure if she got pregnant and continued working many would call her a bad mom for working while she was pregnant and for being selfish for leaving her kids "for someone else to raise".

She is absolutely moaning and groaning about being a woman and what that means. Men could do the same thing about sacrifices they make.

The liberals on this board responding that Serena is not complaining, typify what is wrong with the left. You all see the glass half full for everything related to the genders (mostly females) instead of admiring and appreciating what both men and women bring to the table.

Women are not victims of their biology! They are gifted with the most amazing capacity in the world. Full stop.

is that how you overthrow a nuclear super power? more embarrassing is the Democrat I.Q. in how to overthrow governments. It sure didn't work for Cuba.


We invaded Cuba, blockade, embargo, tried to kill Castro many times and couldn't overthrow a tiny little 3rd world country island 90 miles away but the 1/6 protesters with NO guns were overthrowing the super nuclear power in 4 hours. Amazing the I.Q. of Democrats.

I would normally share your sentiment, but that went out the window when she said, "It's not fair."... This one sentence changed her statement from passively commenting on something to whining/complaining.
