You can’t change a male gaze, can you? Yes, what you can wish for is that men would keep their sexist thoughts, assessments and judgements to themselves. When any serious male cricket fan listens to Isa Guha commentating, the result can only be non-sexist appreciation. And if he takes one step forward to check her profile, it can only be respect. Neuroscientist and an authoritative sports commentator, Isa Guha is a great example for youngsters (male and female) on having a solid skill base as a back-up if pursuit of passion fails for some reason. It is another thing that she has excelled both in academics and sport.
