Why are y'all making this about aesthetics and what you're attracted to as opposed to the beauty and imagery of creating life?
Like just appreciate the symbolism and message of a woman celebrating her body and what it's capable of

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrreeee.
Damn, I swear if you don't have a hive mind opinion here you get swarmed.
I just don't like the type of picture. That is all.
It's not hive mind for women to feel a bit disrespected by being called gross while pregnant because it makes us feel like that's saying we exist solely for men's pleasure.
Most of the people you are replying to are actual women
And sure, you just don't like the picture. Enough to express your feelings about it in a pretty offensive way toward women
We are allowed to you know, inform you of our feelings on the subject too
Gorgeous skin. She's not really naked, more like topless. She looks really happy.
Her body will snap back within 2 days and that is not fair 😒
And where does the "yuck pregnant woman" feeling come from? Lots of it sounds like they should take 9 months off of being beautiful and showing their bodies.

You not liking the photo is fine. Someone publicly writing that the photo is gross is hurtful.
It's not a hive mind opinion. It's called acting like a decent person.
Edit: I mean here's a photo where someone definitely feels empowered and confident. Do you really think calling the photo gross wouldn't put said person down?

Dude should be a huge one
I can see the reason women do it, I see the meaning of it. I also see why some thing it may look gross in the way a bump looks, can look like, and what it can remind you of. So I'm not looking at it with a narrow viewpoint.
I'm just Saiyan.
lol
Um, yeah, that's totally comparable to the picture in the discussion.
Of course we are.terrified of what it does to our bodies. We can actually die and shit. So finding strength and making yourself feel beautiful despite that is a bit of a comfort for some women. God forbid they photograph an important milestone in their lives?

Is there any point at which men can not be fucking awful to a woman (who has spent her career being compared to animals no less.)
She didn't get pregnant so that people would say "oh that's hot." Honestly, she didn't even take her pregnancy to a sports or male oriented magazine that might have more to do with her job. She's there, on the cover of a women's mag, looking majestic as fuck, carrying a human life, and right on time, here are the men to tell Serena Williams that she's gross. Good thing she's not fucking you, huh?

I wasn't comparing them.
Thank you for this post. Sometimes it feels like shouting into a void trying to explain these things. There is a huge lack of empathy and tact everywhere these days.
All I read was Serena Williams + Stunning.

Yeah, I'm not seeing how you turn this into a negative. That's how women look when they're pregnant. It's not gross it's nature.

Man, the shitposts in this thread...
I believe both parties are LGBTQ, so the post wasn't homophobic.
It's gross if you're immature or a dickhead.

I think she's still not due for a couple more months. She should take more pics in August, and then we'll see her baby bump finally protrude further than her glutes. Right now, as other posters have said, her butt bump and baby bump are =

Nature can look... sigh... never mind. I guess we'll go with that.
There is a huge difference between saying "pregnant women look gross" and "the experience of being pregnant is gross." Being pregnant is beautiful, but also definitely gross. In so many ways. It's because being pregnant feels so gross, that pictures like these are important for women.

I don't think the pregnancy is gross, I think all almost butt naked pictures are gross no matter the body.

Yep, another human being mooching off of you like a parasite for 9 months has gotta feel weird af. I sure as hell couldn't go through child birth.
So the human body is gross? Good thing for you we live in a time period with clothes so we only have to deal with our disgusting naked bodies in the shower.
Yep. I keep saying beached whale because around the 8 month mark, rolling over in bed always had me flailing akin to a beached whale.
Pregnacy is fucking rough guys. Let us have our pretty pictures without thinking about your penises.

I've always had a pretty big crush on Serena and Venus ever since they started playing tennis. I wish I could marry them. Their combined intellect, abilities, both athletic and not athletic, seemingly very friendly personalities, and of course their beauty make me wave my hand at my face and make me think, "Lord, do I ever have the vapors right now. I must cool off.
People saying that they're ugly need to get some corrective eye surgery. Seriously.
Also, the symmetry of her body is still amazing even with the pregnancy.
And let's not forget the 37 combined singles and doubles grand slam titles she has. As far as female tennis players go, she is the GOAT by a good margin. She's 37, which is considered ancient in Tennis, but she still be winnin.
And her sister, Venus, has 21 combined career singles and doubles grand slam titles. Hell. They're both super awesome.

Can't wait to see their cute kid
Omg that baby is going to be fucking adorable. They are both so pretty it's impossible the baby won't be.

I can understand someone looking at these pics and thinking "eh, not for me", that's fine.
But it's mind-blowing to me that when real live people are reading your posts and saying "hey, that's personally offensive to me", the response isn't to back off and apologise, but instead double down just because you feel you're entitled to.

This thread did not go as I expected....or did it?
Well, it's a thread with a gorgeous black woman who is also pregnant and that happens to be Serena Williams. Going as one would imagine it would go.

Queen. Beauty. Life. PHEW!!! Queen Stomach looks like a second ass but i'm here for it!
Right! Like why the fuck did they enter the thread if this was such a problem. I think the thread title made it clear that this was going to be a pregnant photo thread. Some people swear to god they have to make their irrelevant ass voices heard. Like why waste your own time for something you clearly don't give af about...like????

It's like they don't get the point that the pictures are literally not for them and their pleasure
They are for mothers celebrating an important moment of their lives.
Again, dudes, every picture of a woman doesn't exist just get your dick up.
