For me, the Australian media lost credibility after I read, “While winning the Australian Open…”

I’d like to have legs as strong as Serena’s arms.

And Zuzu, you may have just inspired a post about breasts, hips, and fatphobia.

They’ve been acculturated to not find a powerfully muscular woman attractive, and they have to argue in circles around that while denying that socialised/acculturated perceptions affect their superior minds at all, nuh-uh. Apparently it’s OK to be helpless before genetic urges, but not OK to acknowledge that cultural attitudes shape your individual preferences.

No kidding! She’s gorgeous, to boot, and has, oh, basically a figure almost any woman would LOVE to have, but OH, she’s out of shape (despite the fact that she wins more than her ‘thin’ sister) because she has a FIGURE.

I’m not even sure what any sort of height-weight chart says Shaq SHOULD weigh because he’s so. freaking. big.

And the reason Miguel Cabrera should lose weight? Because if he stops hitting all those home runs, people are going to call him fat. Sure. That’s great, there. Did it ever occur to them that you need a certain amount of body mass in order to HIT home runs? Most power hitters are big, and it ain’t all muscle.

Not to mention that someone who doesn’t realize that a guy who’s seven feet tall is going to weigh more than his 5-foot-6 ass is just an idiot.

I might do a little editing to comment directly on that (and also at his commentary on Shaq’s diet). I mean, the woman appears in a bikini in photo spreads frequently. You’d think if she were the cow he seems to think she is, you might notice from the bikini shots.

And if that’s fat, then let me be fat like that. I’d love to have her body. It just exudes power.
