There continues to be heated debate
over whether or not
there should have been an exception made
for tennis player, Novak Djokovic,
re: the Australian Open.
You and I both know
that if Novak Djokovic had been a female,
instead of a white male,
there would be NO debate,
likely no discussion
and very little media coverage at all.
The female tennis player likely wouldn’t even have
an opportunity to appeal the ruling.
And she likely would have fines
inflicted against her.
Different rules still apply to women
vs men.
Men are forgiven for things
(like breaking the rules
or something much more trivial
like expressing emotion)
women are punished for.
If you’re a woman,
remember that when receiving advice
from male mentors.
And remember that
when giving advice
to male proteges.
Our situations are NOT the same.
