Golden Words HAVE TO BE Repeated!

OK, here we go! Yahoo Sports (Tennis) website....one of the primary offenders! They flatly refuse to publish the following post of mine. Other posts keep streaming in, though, and in comparison to some of the inane comments, mine sounds almost Shakespearean in quality! Also, other sites are posting my messages, hence the fault definitely doesn't lie with my connection. The article in discussion bears the heading:

"INTERVIEW-Tennis-Clijsters to play on for maximum two years"

The subject in discussion: Australian Open champion Kim Clijsters plans to play on for a maximum two years following her remarkable run of success since returning to the tour in 2009 after taking time out to have a baby.

Here's my "offensive" post that those sanctimonious upholders of virtue deem unprintable. Nothing great, but a gem in comparison with some of the obtuse remarks that ARE deemed worthy:

"I have mixed feelings about this matter. While I totally respect Kim Clijsters's decision to plan her own future, I also feel that this doesn't reflect too well on professional women. It's not just sports....you hear complaints about women from a variety of professions simply quitting for family or personal reasons upon reaching their peaks in their respective fields! When your talent is noticed by your experienced superiors and you are groomed for greater responsibilities & success, then it's natural for your bosses to expect serious dedication to your job. I deplore sexism & prejudice against women, but have to acknowledge that when mentors repeatedly find their male proteges displaying far greater ambition & devotion to their professions than their female counterparts, they are bound to prefer the former to the latter! These days women get annoyed if they are asked about their future family & marriage plans during interviews for highly demanding jobs. However, in all fairness, from the boss's perspective, it's necessary to determine if the talented & qualified person they are planning on training & preparing for a demanding career is serious about dedicating his/her life to it! Can you imagine the waste of time & effort (not to mention the setbacks to the department itself) if your golden girl, about to be named your honoured successor, suddenly decides to bid adieu to her career because she'd rather focus on a hubby + cute little babies??!!"
