Serena Williams on having a baby: "I'm about to be a real woman now"
But before she can tackle those barriers, Williams, who is eight months pregnant, has to tackle the immediate challenge in front of her: child birth. When asked about it, she shared it’s a process she looks forward to, despite her aforementioned fears, because she believes she’ll be “a real woman now.”
“I have so much respect for so many women [for giving birth]. I am about to be a real woman now, you know? It’s going to be something incredibly impressive to go through.”
I’ll admit, I cringed a bit at Williams’ “real woman” declaration which goes against the very stigma feminists and childless woman have been fighting since the beginning of time, but I understand the sentiment of feeling like there’s nothing you can’t do once you bring life into this world. We’re definitely looking forward to watching Williams continue her reign of domination as a mother.

Saw this on twitter. Thoughts? Valid viewpoint or too exclusionary?
First things first: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.One of the Great Black Hopes of the DUmp just kicked over the applecart. Boston Bean lost her mind last week over no abortion trucks rolling through neighborhoods, playing Alanis Morrisette songs. The're in the midst of eating each other over sexism and racism. And now THIS slice of awesomeness from one of their sacred cows. Let's dig in: (https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029429375)

1. So, is she saying that women like me, for example, who wanted children so passsionately but
serious medical issues prevented me from carrying to term, which one born asleep, aren't women? IGNORANT AS HELL!

3. C'mon...
sports folks aren't the most eloquent. We can't
be all that sensitive, it's wrong, grow a bone. In this context, it is reasonable to have such thoughts because only 'real' women are able to give birth so Serena may feel it will make her feel like a woman. Pro sports is a tough business, not really feminine.
It's not the words we should care about but actions.

4. Sometimes people say things
without realizing how hurtful their words can be to others. Maybe motherhood is connecting her to her femininity after a lifetime of competition and athletics. I doubt she meant it as a slight to women who don't have children. Hopefully she'll walk it back.
Translation: "Ix-nay on the ooman-way, Serena!

11. Look, she's got baby on the brain, and this is a cringey thing to say
But who cares really
UM, YOU would, if a Republican said it.

17. A real woman.
Silly thing to say, but she's young.
:racist:
Oh, brother, what a pile of pusillanimous pablum. If a white Republican woman said that, they'd SHIT (leave Pam aside for a moment. In fact, leave her aside the highway).
And, just for good measure...
30+ replies on that thread and not one use of the word 'fetus.' Thanks again, DUmb****s, for revealing that it IS a baby, and when you kill them, you're killing a BABY. And lurking Boston Bean: **** you and die.

Only hollywood liberal elites matter as long as they toe the line.
Well, I guess that applies to sports people, too.
Formerly employed Colon Kaspernick (heavy on the colon), is still their idle idol. That idiot is in a world of shit. He's jumping through his own asshole looking for work. I think of him as a spastic Colin.
Colin ---> :pokingpoop: <--- normal people

Anyone who takes this as a slap to the childless rather than admiration for motherhood is an idiot...
...or an asshole.
That those are mutually exclusive states.

Where's that stupid Jamaican Christine to straighten everyone out about her beloved Serena?

And yet, a biological male who _thinks_ he is a woman is a REAL woman in DUmpland; such a REAL woman that the government can decree that adolescent girls should undress and shower in his presence.
Hard to believe that not one DUmp monkey mentioned trannies in that entire thread.

That is ^5 worthy.

47. When a trans man gives birth, does that make him a real woman?
It happens.
Don't we honor the person's gender choice? Or is giving birth the gender identifier?

Actually it is God's way of keeping the gene pool clean. :-) :-)

Geesh! Why do people expressing joy and pleasure have to worry about how political ideologues & victimologists are going to react?

I don't think she meant it that way, but I know women that have tried for years to have children would feel hurt by it.

When your whole life is spent looking for victimhood opportunities, how can one pass this softball up?

Maybe if she said she was planning to suck it into a sink, the DUmpmonkeys would be loving her again.
Moloch must be appeased.
