Minister slammed on Twitter for saying women need protection from 'hormonal outbursts'

http://ift.tt/2mRA4KJ


Indians are miffed with their Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi. And why not?

In a rather bizarre statement made on a television show, Gandhi defended the imposition of early curfews on girls' hostels (known as dormitories elsewhere) across the country, saying young women needed protection from their own "hormonal outbursts."

When questioned by a female college student on the rationale behind 6 p.m. curfews in ladies' hostels, the minister said: "When you are 16 or 17 you are also hormonally very challenged. So to protect you from your own hormonal outbursts perhaps a lakshman rekha (boundary line) is drawn. It really is for your own safety." 

Ironically, she was invited to speak on gender equality and women empowerment around International Women's Day. 

Unsurprisingly, Twitterati slammed her for the "regressive" comments. 

Some of them even reminded her of her own past. Gandhi is married in India's oldest political family, the Nehru-Gandhis, and had met her husband, the late Sanjay Gandhi, as a teenager. 

"Hostel curfew to save girls from hormonal outbursts: Maneka Gandhi"
Says a modern girl who had love affair at 17 & married at 18yrs 27days!

You know what would be safest? Lock hormonal men in, instead of denying women the right to lead a full life. https://t.co/ysCYc08bhB
