Twitter Has The Best Reactions To Narendra Modi’s “Despite Being A Woman” Sexist Remark

So, here’s what happened:

During his Bangladesh visit, Narendra Modi made some profound comments. One of those are his compliment to Sheikh Hasina, the Prime minister of Bangladesh, on how well she’s handling the terrorist situation ‘despite being a woman‘.

 

Btw, his words are not taken out-of-context

For those wondering if Modi was misquoted, here’s the relevant bit from official PMO transcript. #DespiteBeingAWoman pic.twitter.com/KqtWAi2n21
