I agree. She's a minority and the compassionate thing to do is say, hey don't bug me about it but feel free to use me as a role model so in X years we'll have 50% women in the role of your speciality and we can move on. I wouldn't force anyone to be a public figure but to disengage completely is denying there is an imbalance. Also, I bet as an Indian woman she's not going to deny there is a massive need for general improvement in health in safety? Maybe she's really lucky but I just read [1] this morning and was reminded that I, as a woman, don't feel safe alone in certain contexts in India. I can afford a private car and security but that certainly doesn't stop me wanting safety for everyone. What's she saying read to me like, "I'm from a supportive family and wealthy enough background to have made it, leave me alone in my bubble where everyone around me has everything we need"
