Question

Newe extract 3

Answer 1

Answer:

The prejudice shown is making a sexist remark against the female gender.

The line "Women don't know the offside rule" shows how sexist the comment is.

Explanation:

A sexist remark is when a person of one gender says something discriminatory about a person of another gender. This means that talking bad about the other based on her gender is known or taken as a sexist comment or discrimination based on one's gender.

In the given scenario of the sports presenters, their comment about Sian Massey's 'incapability' to be a referee, based on her being a woman is a sexist remark. They are making the claim that Sian was not worthy to be a referee for the game because of her gender and that women don't know anything about "offside rule" which is discriminatory in nature.

This claim can be supported by the very comment "Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don't know the offside rule."
