I don't know what to make of this.

Tiger's Penis' Lack of Swagger
I tried to stay off the "Tiger" subject. I tried to refrain from jumping on the "Tiger media frenzy." I tried, I tried, ... I TRIED. But, the last thing I read about Tiger, a blog titled "Black Women Are Shocked That Tiger Woods has a Penis!," just "pisses me off." Pun intended.
The writer of the blog, who happens to be my colleague, was trying to be cute, clever and funny with her title. But, in her attempt at humor, she has done what so many women have done in the past. Publicly emasculated one of their own. She also explained that the bashing wasn't about race, but quickly joked, "clearly Tiger would never date Keisha or Shanequa." If its not about race ... don't bring it up. And clearly, the only women my colleague knows that aren't white are named Keisha or Shanequa.
Ultimately, she attributes Tiger's lack of penis to his lack of swagger. How dare anyone say some "sh-t" like this. And some women wonder why Tiger is not with a sister. The fact is Tiger doesn't have to explain "sh-t" to anyone. Except his wife, and maybe Nike. We watch Tiger to see him champion our cause in a sport (golf) traditionally dominated by white men. His dominance of golf gives people of color another example of what we can accomplish with hard work, perseverance and blessing.
Tiger's decision on how he navigates the golf world has to be a careful one. He is not the first golfer of color, but he is currently the greatest golfer of color. The tone he sets, will either make it easier or harder for future golfer's of color to follow. This might explain Tiger being a little too "vanilla" (plain, not white) or his lack of swagger to some women. Excuse him if he has bigger things to worry about than someone else's perception of his swagger.
The truth is, some women (I said some, not most, not all), don't know what they want in a man. They think they do, but they don't. Some say they want a strong "man's man." But, they will complain he is too insensitive and domineering. Some say they want the shy, sensitive type who will listen and truly understand them. But, they will complain he is too soft, and not manly enough for them. Women, if you truly want a man with swagger and a penis, stop cutting his off with your mouth. Anyway, half the women (I said half, not most, not all), would never even think about Tiger's swagger, or lack there of. They'd be too busy spending Tiger's money, and increasing the perception of their own swagger.
So, let Tiger play golf. Let his wife deal with how she decides to play her role. And get off his swagger!
