Believing that women are entitled to decide whether or not they want to have children young (if at all) or have some kind of career first, is not hating men, nor wanting to kill all men. Calling out someone who announces publicly that the choices they have made for themselves would be no good for women, because they shouldn't want those things, is not FemiNazism.
It's basic common sense for anyone vaguely intelligent who isn't living two hundred years ago.
If he'd said that he knows his sisters want a family, so they'd find it tough, that would be fine. Instead, he decided he knows what would make women really happy, and that's staying at home with children, not playing tennis.
Mirka got injured and had to retire.
She manages combine motherhood with a life on the tennis tour. Just because she's not actually playing tennis doesn't mean she's not doing all of the travelling that is apparently impossible for the women Gulbis knows.
Exactly. I cannot believe some of the things we are reading here, and this is exactly why we need feminism
Yes it is his opinion, and opinions can be misogynist and racist and while I don't believe he had bad intentions, his comments does have a lot of tinges of sexism. Why should women be more worried than men about raising and focusing on settling down with a family? Because being present for your family is solely a woman's role? Not a man's? This line of though definitely harks back to the "women belong in the kitchen" line of thinking which is definitely sexist. And anyway, it's a decision women should be able to make for themselves if they want a family or not. The reasons he mentioned are stupid.
Well said.
He also forgets that for a lot of women on the tour, they've come from much more humble backgrounds than him. If they have a successful career, they could retire in their late twenties and never need to work again, at which point they could take a few years off from any kind of work to properly dedicate themselves to their children. Most women don't have that luxury.
