Uh huh.  So Billie Jean is saying that if the chair umpire had been a female, Serena wouldn't have thrown an epic temper tantrum?  Yeah, I don't think so.

Serena has been even more abusive toward female umps, even threatening physical harm.

Absolutely.  Which is why it is even more ridiculous that Billie Jean and so many others are trying to make excuses for her.
