Answering the OP question. Please read my entire answer.
I thought the same thing you did when she said she had been sexualized. I was like "what? you are hot and you know it and you want everybody else to know it". It didn't take me long to come to the conclusion that she most likely didn't mean 'sexualized' in the same context that we are all thinking. I think she simply meant that she found the haters comments especially hurtful and inappropriate when they were sexual. And that statement is probably very accurate. Because haters are a bunch of sick ba$t@rds. That's it folks. She didn't mean she doesn't want to be seen as sexy. Obviously she wants to be sexy. We all do!
I would love to express my thoughts on the overall controversy between Reese and Clark, but I don't have time; but I think we're all making way too big of a deal of it without even knowing the facts. These girls know each other and understand each other in a way that none of us do. I have to admit that that was the first women's basketball game (at any level) that I've ever raced home to watch. I would have watched that game over my favorite NBA team any day. And I'm not even a Hawkeye or a Tiger. I hate both teams. So think about what Reese actually did for women's sports with her unsportsmanlike conduct. It all caught fire after that. I hate to say it, but it was good for the game.
