“It simply came to our notice then. It is also feminist how women, how women in the world are treated unfairly and how different and different things are paid than men.
“She supports all this. I like how she does it. And obviously the social injustice that happens, plays a role in all of this. And for her to be a woman and say all these things, and it could be scary for her, because she is a woman in what they will say is a man’s world, and she just plays a role, standing up, not listening to everyone who says there and even saying what she believes in her, is motivating.
“I, as a man, think you could say, as if not too many men want to say they look at a woman nowadays. But I look at her, just for what she does outside of sports. And I think he had to shout other things at her. “
