.serenawilliams gets real in a new personal essay about her code violations during the 2018 US Open.
Serena wrote,"So often, in situations similar to mine, when men fight back against the referees, they're met with a smile or even a laugh from the umpire, as if they're sharing an inside joke. I'm not asking to avoid being penalized. I am asking to be treated the same way as everyone else. Sadly, that's simply not the world we currently live in.
"Serena continued on to say that the incident illustrated how women in any part of the workforce are treated every day."We are not allowed to have emotions, we are not allowed to be passionate. We are told to sit down and be quiet, which frankly is just not something I'm okay with. It's shameful that our society penalizes women just for being themselves." Could she have handled the situation differently? Sure.
