Earlier today, The Times of India conducted this poll on Twitter.
POLL: If MBA entrance exams were made less math oriented, would more women become business managers?
Unfortunately, what a lot of users didn't realise was that the question was based on a quote given by the ICICI Bank managing director and CEO, Chanda Kochhar, in a speech earlier.
But who cares about facts online, right?
.@timesofindia Where is the option to hit "I find this question extremely sexist"?
@timesofindia One of the stupidest questions ever. Right up there with "if humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?".
Hey @timesofindia,thanks for keeping your sexist agenda alive. Shame of you for assuming women are bad at math.
People eventually started replying with sarcastic polls of their own.
.@timesofindia do you think handler of this account failed his Maths class ?
@timesofindia Do you think the journo who framed this Q knows anything about MBA?
If more people subscribed to @timesofindia ToI-let papers for morning 'ablutions', would India conserve more water?
Oh, ToI...
The fact that this comes from the Times Of India doesn't even surprise me anymore. https://t.co/513aYtgoB3
Gotta be more careful on the internet.
