Not only India, but the whole world is suffering from a disease called sexism. No matter how far the ladies have gone to prove their talent and abilities, there are some men who always think ladies can never beat men.
On the receiving end is Serena Williams right now. You won’t believe it, but yes, the 35-year-old and 23-time Grand Slam singles champion, Serena is the latest victim of sexism.
Serena, who is on a break from Tennis due to pregnancy was attacked by former Tennis world number one player, McEnroe. During a radio show, he said that Serena would struggle to be in the world’s top 700 if she was on the men’s circuit. In exact words, “If she played the men’s circuit she’d be, like, 700 in the world.”
Now that’s quite provoking and hard to bear, but Serena being a genuine person gave the sanest reply. Here’s what she tweeted-
Dear John, I adore and respect you but please please keep me out of your statements that are not factually based.

I've never played anyone ranked "there" nor do I have time. Respect me and my privacy as I'm trying to have a baby. Good day sir
