manifest destiny

[Victor Steinbok]

 From an ESPN story about Fallon Fox:

> "The contention for Fallon seems to be people characterizing her as
> dishonest and manipulating, that she somehow manifested her destiny by
> saying, 'I'm going to have this operation and then I'm going to be a
> fighter and world champion,'" Atchley said. "I just posed this to
> [someone], that if a physician walked up to you and said, 'I'm going
> to remove your testicles and penis and this will take care of your
> cancer, what would you choose?' He said it was a perplexing question.
> I said I knew what I'd choose. I'd take my chances against cancer. So
> the idea that she has an agenda [is ridiculous]."

Manifested her destiny? Seriously?
