I cannot even express how appalled I am that this is considered a controversial statement. There are pages of people tweeting back disagreeing with Terry for saying this.
I bet when Serena first picked up a tennis racket, at least one of those people felt the sharp chill of a prophesy being fulfilled and suddenly felt the urge to retire.
“You have any pictures of girls you’ve f–ked? I’ll send you some [hot] ballerina girls I’ve made scream,” she alleges Finlay, 28, wrote to other men in the company in September — prompting the ballet bros to respond with their own x-rated photos of dancers from the troupe, the Manhattan Supreme Court suit charges.
She also claims Finlay participated in a group chat where a ballet benefactor suggested they “get like half a kilo [of cocaine] and pour it over the ABT girls and just violate them” — referring to the rival American Ballet Theatre. Finlay responded with two “thumbs-up” emoticons, and the donor allegedly continued, “I bet we could tie some of them up and abuse them… Like farm animals,” the suit charges.
“Or like the sluts they are,” Finlay allegedly responded. In another text chat, he talked about recording and selling footage of Waterbury naked and performing sex acts, and in yet another, Finlay and another principal dancer bragged of their plan to “double team” a particularly religious dancer and “leave her with no choice,” the suit alleges.
No matter how much you think you have in common with man, he does not see you as fully human. This story reminds me of Marines who were caught twice in a month sharing nudes and sexual content of their female fellow soldiers on forums and on Facebook. These women signed up to fight beside them and they still called them sluts, whores and treated them like their personal pornstars. No respect or decency at all. That’s why I say fuck the troops, I support women. Misogyny is stronger than any kind of comraderie and the cult of masculinity is more important to him than any female friendship.
