Yana Brenzey - attack 16.04.2024

TV presenter Yana Brenzey shared on her Instagram that she had been invited to moderate a conference on economic topics but was later replaced by a male presenter. She attributed this decision to the belief that economic topics are supposedly more associated with the male sphere. Yana Brenzey did not mention the name of the company. In the comments under Yana Brenzey’s post, users suggested that she had fabricated the story since she did not name the company. Commentators also left the following reviews:

• “I hope it’s her PMS talking” “It’s not sexism; it’s just the consequences of getting involved in a telethon. They invited whoever they wanted. The other candidate clearly suited the client better. If they sign a contract with a woman instead of me, I don’t whine that it’s sexism, because it’s not.”
• “You’ve waaay inflated that topic. They see what they want to see in their imagination — it’s normal, they are people and have the right to their vision. Yes, you were offended that you weren’t chosen; that’s normal too. But sexism has nothing to do with it.”
