“Sexist” Questions

The United Nations officially celebrated the first International Women’s Day in 1975, but it was first observed at scale 111 years go – a million people across Europe came out in support of women’s right to work, vote and hold public office in 1911.
111 years on, we have come a long way. And yet, we still have a long way to go towards achieving an equal world.
Women still face prejudices – big and small – on the daily. Some of the most pervasive and insidious prejudices are sexisms: gendered comments that have become so commonplace that they’re commonly ignored, and continue to perpetuate prejudices and hinder women.

You would’ve heard a lot of these comments, too:
Why is she so bossy?
Why are girls such terrible drivers?
Women are generally bad at math/tech/science, how come you’re so good?...
The following is a small attempt by Moneycontrol, to chip away at this pervasive problem with the best tools imaginable – a bit of humour and a lot of sass.
