Sports Stars: Women and Computer Screen

sports stars: Verbal attacks on women looks are mild these days compared to the explicit sexualization of abuse that unleashed upon women in the name of free speech and behind the anonymity of a computer screen, according to Hamilton Spectator. Male politicians are crooks, maybe. I suppose women everywhere have experienced a taste of the hate that some men feel toward them. Male sports stars are called lazy bums. That why it so important to celebrate women who step up and take on the risk of making change. But any woman who steps outside of the privacy of the home is open to all kinds of derogatory comments touching upon the colour of her skin, the shape of her body, the look of her face, the wave of her hair, the presumed characteristics of her behaviour, what she wearing and on and on ad nauseam.
