Serena Williams Ad Exposes Double Standard- Kennedy Hannible

The ad aired during the 2019 Academy Awards, which addressed the divide between the way women and men are perceived in moments of expressing emotion. Serena has been known for expressing her emotions during a match. She called the umpire Carlos Ramos a "thief" which got her fined $17.000, but Williams explained how she has seen/heard male players say several things to umpires. The controversial ruling ignited an international debate about the double standard for men and women who show emotion. Women in the workplace have been penalized for overly reacting in situations while men are seen as being passionate. Women of color are faced with even more hurdles. This double standard has been going on for centuries and has hindered the rise of many women.
