At first, I didn’t understand why you were saying that you have no interest in British men. Then, I realized - the way I’ve written, it seems like I am asking you to visit my blog for British men :) :). Ok, then what about British women ;) ? That was hilarious :) :).

Which is where the whole plight of womens sportspersons comes up in the article as well! You got it exactly why I may run away from women who do not take interest in sports (but do in sportsmen).

I know I would be offended if any man finds any woman sportsperson hot without caring about her sporting abilities.

That is Kournikova is considered such a famous tennis player, even when (atleast I think) Graff, Navratilova, William-sisters - all are better than her. In England, there is this football player - Rachel Unitt. She is one of the topmost football player in that country. But, seems like she is more famous because guys find her extremely hot (regarding hot, I think you find it interesting to visit my blog and read my recent post about heat, football, British men :) )!!!!

Generally if a girl talks about how how hot actor and how good he is cos he is hot x is vs how hot Kevin Pieterson is plus talking about cricket, I would chose the latter. :D I did not mean the science/maths studying girls or a girl studying a specific thing.

Hmmm…can’t think of a reason why a woman interested in sport would be more sensible (scratching my head)? Let’s see - people who are in science/math - they are usually very logical, and thus sensible (yeah?) and they may not like sports! Now that is indeed a very biased statement :D :D.

Okay I am biased! I wasnt aware the women every where are discouraged, taunted for sports at large. I have seen a lot of women for cricket games in South Africa but surprisingly not many in say England as you pointed out. Sports helps a person keep physically fit and mentally more active. So it is good for both women and men and I hope the women sports are taken more seriously and girls do take up sports without bothering about the discouragement from society.

I am very Calcutta, and I remembered I used to play lots of cricket/football with my brother when I was young - 5/7 years old - with all the boys from the neighborhood. After that, I could not continue because the boys would not be interested in having a girl play with them (and if she persists on playing, they would taunt, make fun of her, play bad jokes, etc…etc…). Luckily, I went to an all girls’ school and so during lunch time, we would play all these games among ourselves. So, this interest in sports continued. There are lots of plights faced by women sports personalties not only in India, but in the rest of the world. Hey, in India thousands of people at least turn up to watch women’s cricket. If you happen to go to UK, NewZealand, Australia - you will hardly find any spectators - most of them are relatives/friends of the players. If you happen to go to the Women’s football discussion section in BBC, or see the discussions on women’s cricket on the net, you will see how hurtful, taunting comments are often written down (I guess must be by men or boys) against women’s cricket/football. I think all these are due to cultural barriers - throughout the world, attractive women means slim, fair, tender-looking women. Women sportsperson usually don’t fall into this category of tender looking ones. Thus, women sports personalities are not easily accepted. Seconly, because of various cultural reasons, women are still discouraged to play sports in almost every society. Thus as they grow up, they are not good (in general) with sports, and this leads men/society to assume that women can’t be good in sports and thus their sports would also be horrible. So, all these attitudes/cultures go hand in hand, in a circle and everyone (especially women) become sufferer. Only way to break this circle is to encourage girls to take up sports from early age, and also encourage women to support their own gender’s game. Hey, there are about 3 billion women in this planet - if they start supporting their own sports, women’s sports will grow in leap and bound. Very nice post, Pratyush.
