Men are given far more allowance to have outburst than women in any place where there's a display of talents/hard-work vs competition. Happens to most of us women on a daily basis in the workplace; we're supposed to remain docile and never express frustration. I'm not sure why acknowledging sexism exist is problematic.

Boy, do I ever know this .. 100+++ %!!! Being in Financial Services, if the men screamed, yelled, swore, banged their hands on the table .. well, everyone just said "oh, they are taking charge". If a woman did that, "she's too emotional". The whole "Emotional Intelligence" BS (that many have to go through when interviewing for a job) .. does anyone honestly think that came about because of men being "emotional" in the workplace?!?! .. HELL NO!

Serena is a much bigger celebrity than any of those men. I've never seen Nadal's ugly mug on the cover of Vogue. Federer's profile probably would have come close 9 or 10 years ago but not lately. Serena is at the forefront of celebrity news and whatever she does is publicized accordingly, which added a lot of attention to an incident that would have been in the news anyway, regardless of who was involved.

In terms of male vs. female outbursts, I would love for somebody to do an accurate comparison of comparable incidents and demonstrate a double standard. But give me a break with the idea that the likes of Marcos Baghdatis and Victor Troiki breaking rackets in the early rounds of whatever tournament is just as newsworthy as all of Flushing Meadows booing the final of the US Open, and that we're only paying attention to the latter because of sexism.

Why would Nadal be on the cover of Vogue?

Federer does tons of endorsements...now.

Look, it's common sense that typically men are more "passionate" when it comes to sports. Fighting, breaking crap, criminal activity off the fields. You're REALLY gonna sit there and say that men don't flip out more often, to a higher degree, and generally get away with it? I mean, sure there are some consequences, but not many. But as soon as a woman loses her $h1t...clutch the pearls! "She's too emotional!"
