The article about tennis women stars deals with how sensitive women are about their body image. Women care about every detail of their bodies because society cannot accept people for themselves. Women strive to look their best because of this, but some superstars feel like they look too masculine because of their muscular figure. It was not the smartest idea to publish an article about how superstars such as Maria Sharpova took a long time to feel confident in their bodies. Instead, it lowers the self-esteem of women who do not feel as important. People tend to mock every little flaw about someone to feel better about themselves. To maintain their confidence, women still have to alter their body image in certain situations. Serena Williams wears long sleeve shirts in public to hide her muscular arms because less people will notice her. She does not just want to be noticed because of her strength either.

For some it is hard to grasp, but Taye Diggs is starring in Hedwig on Broadway playing a transgender character. Instead of having a majority of the article capture Taye’s thoughts, a lot of it makes it seem like this is an impossible role for him. The first few paragraphs go overboard about how much of a straight sex appeal he is, which makes me think people see his role as different. After that, the reader gets a few paragraphs about the background of Taye. This explains how in his last roles, he played a successful black man. This role compared to others is explained as outrageous. It is sad to think playing a transgender character is seen as far fetched because that person is human just like anyone else.  This article comes off as degrading because of the language used. Instead, it should have focused more on Taye’s reaction to his new role but not make it seem like the role is so much different than anything else.
