Answer:
Explanation:
The skipper was enraged when asked who her favourite male cricketer was. Mithali shot back by asking, “Do you ask the same question to a male cricketer? Do you ask them who their favourite female cricketer is?”
“I have always been asked who’s your favourite cricketer but you should ask them who their favourite female cricketer is,” Mithali said.
Despite being one of the most popular sports in the country, Indian women’s cricket has received a step-motherly treatment over the years. “Mithali felt they should not be compared to their male counterparts and lamented the lack of recognition despite representing a country where the sport reigns supreme. She pointed out that the Indian women did not receive the same amount of publicity as the men,” reported The Hindu.
The years have seen Indian sportswomen shoot past trolls, sexist remarks and emerging victorious despite all odds. Here’s a list of a few other Indian Sportswomen who successfully shut down sexist questions and remarks in the past.
1. Sania Mirza
In 2016, Sania launched her autobiography titled ‘Ace Against Odds,’ which was released on July 13 in Hyderabad. In an interview pertaining to the book, Rajdeep Sardesai asked her, “Amidst all the celebrityhood, when is Sania going to settle down? … What about motherhood? Building a family? I don’t see that in the book. It seems like you don’t want to retire yet to settle down.”
“You don’t think I’m settled? You sound disappointed that I am not choosing motherhood over being No.1 in the world at this point of time. But I’ll answer your question anyway. This is one of the questions, as women, that we have to face all the time…Unfortunately, that’s when we are settled and no matter how many Wimbledons we win or No.1s we become, we don’t become ‘settled,'” shot back Sania.
Sardesai apologised immediately on realising the poor construction of his question and also admitted that he would never have asked the same question to a male athlete.
She summed up her reply on a powerful note saying, “I hope a few years from now, a girl, when she is 29 isn’t asked the question about when she is going to have a child when she is No.1 in the world.”
