It’s always good to be reminded that we’re lucky to be able to see Williams play, even if you’re not a big tennis fan.

The headline said “crush”. I disagree. Kerber played very well and so did Serena. One break per set isn’t being crushed, and Kerber was even competitive in those games.

Just sheer brilliance. This has been the best tennis she’s played all year.

But for whom he’s writing is clear: old white male fogies who are similarly interested in how these women fit into their own narratives.

Yes! The godawful metaphor comparing a woman to something expensive, exotic, or dead is the first sign a piece has been smashed out by a semi-sentient boner. I think you definitely have a point that said boner is writing for itself more than other boners, but I assume these writerly boners think their boner experience

People at the airport.

Maybe he would write about the things they...do? I’ve heard that women sometimes do things.

But these guys are wanking to their own words more than anything else.

To approach her was to approach a church as a reformed Catholic might: knowing the possibility of dazzlement and revelation but arriving within to find a perfect collapse of one’s hopes in the face of the dusty reality of a room full of chairs. What promised the beauty of defined features was on closer regard just

I'd wager he doesn't write about them at all, but if he did, he probably wouldn't be describing them as willowy alien love goddesses who descend from the heavens to torment mortal men with their celestial allure.

Australia is America 50 years ago, sunny and slow, a throwback,

“She leaned over me, her divine hair blazing in the sun—I don’t know what she was wearing—and she cooed, ‘stick your prick in me.’ Her celestial body descended, like a pilgrim, on my throbbing pecker. I failed to satisfy her lusty heaving body. Humiliation scourged me, her impossibly large eyes resentful. I regretted

Her hair is pulled back, her lips are full, her eyes huge and alien, her head alien also, too big for her body, for her narrow shoulders and skinny waist—alien in that big-headed Martian way, proportions that Hollywood and conspiracy theorists use to denote species of a higher evolutionary order, whether of good or

How does he write about women who are not conventionally attractive? I'm curious about that.

This guy likes hyperbole because he uses it so much. It seems he can't write about a beautiful woman without using boner lens.

I can’t believe he used that verb to refer to an actual human, let alone one he met in person.

She was “impregnated by” because she’s just a passive sail.

The writers themselves. It’s just fancy, sanctioned mental masturbation.

So real talk: weight gain or loss should be an off-limits section of writing, especially when a woman is carrying twins, WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THE TWO BABIES WERE GOING TO GROW. “Bellied out like a sail” Jesus Christ. Also the way he describes women makes it clear he is still waiting for his manic pixie dream

I know the answer! They’re written by boners, for boners.
