#Throwback to the Time When Priyanka Chopra Shut Down a Reporter for His Sexist Question

Priyanka Chopra has been actively involved in several philanthropic activities. She is also the global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. 

The actor has been quite vocal about social issues, and has been shattering glass ceilings every step of the way. 


 

During a press conference after the third season of Quantico was wrapped up, Priyanka was asked a rather peculiar question on gender equality. 

The questioner said, "Why is that a feminist never take up a stand for a man who is physically abused? If a man slaps a woman, it is a crime. But when a man eve-teases a woman and she slaps him, no one says a word on the abuse of a man. Where is your equality?"

To which the Quantico actor replied, "Physiologically men and women are different. There is no debate about it. When we talk about equality and opportunity, we talk about cerebral opportunity. We are not saying we want to able to be like a 200 pound man and beat the shit out of somebody else. We are not saying that."

She did not stop herself from giving this person a piece of her mind. "We are saying you get the ability to get the job, to be the CEO and no body questions when you're driven at 50 and have three children, how you managing. Don't question me. That's what I am saying. I can be a CEO and a mother. So when a girl slaps a man who teases her, he deserves it," said Priyanka.

You go, girl!
