A misogynistic social media remark criticising working women about a Bangladeshi cricketer sparked outrage on Monday just days after making an outstanding debut for Bangladesh in international cricket.
Bangladeshi bowler misogynist remarks: When the neighbours faced off against one other in the Asia Cup on Friday, bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib successfully removed India skipper Rohit Sharma with just his fourth delivery in international cricket. He then maintained composure in the decisive over to give Bangladesh the win.
“After feminists and advocates for women’s rights exposed his misogynistic social media statements, the 20-year-old received ridicule.”
Last year, Tanzim wrote on Facebook that “if the wife works, the husband’s rights are not ensure.” “If the wife works, the rights of the child are not protect.” The woman loses her grace if she works.
“The family is destroyed if the wife works. The veil will fall apart if the wife works. The wife working is bad for society.
The bulk of workers in the garment industries that have contributed significantly to Bangladesh’s economic progress in recent years are women.
But in the nation with a majority of Muslims, conservative patriarchal values are still pervasive.

“Feminist writer Jannatun Nayeem Prity of Paris point out that the Bangladesh team’s uniforms were produce in factories with a large female workforce, sparking a response.”
Feminist writer Jannatun Nayeem Prity of Paris responded to the remarks, pointing out that factories with a large female workforce produced the uniforms for the Bangladesh team.
She said, “I feel sorry for you that you don’t think of your mother as a regular human being.
In a widely circulated Facebook post, author Swakrito Noman called Tanzim’s remarks “deeply offensive” and demanded that the player apologise and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) probe Tanzim.
Mejbaul Haque, a journalist, remarked on Monday: “Such a warped kind of misogyny is disgusting. Regardless of how famous he is.
The BCB claimed to be conducting an inquiry.
“We were aware of the problem. We are looking into it,” said Jalal Yunus, the organization’s head of cricket operations, to AFP.
However, Tanzim, who helped Bangladesh win the Under-19 World Cup in 2020, has only participated in 12 matches for the senior team.
