Even though we’ve experienced some really terrible things in 2020, sexism remains to be the worst of them all. In these modern times where women are shattering glass ceilings in various fields, it’s baffling to see how a few fools still look down on the opposite gender.
Speaking of which, former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju, who is no stranger to allegations of sexism and misogyny, recently got called out for getting overtly chatty with a woman on his social media, reports News18. While replying to comments on his Facebook posts, he creepily told a woman, ‘Good Girls Sleep Early.’

Back in 2015, Katju had faced flak after he had compared MP Shazia Ilmi and Kiran Bedi on who was more ‘beautiful’. Known for courting controversies with his sexist remarks, many people online shared several instances of when the former judge was creepy to women on social media.

Several others called him out for his indecent behavior:
Can I call him trash without demeaning trash ? The respect I had for judiciary is in dismal and he plays the major role in it.

Can we stop laughing on his predatory bullshit? And call him out? Hold him accountable?

@mkatju You are such a creep that I'd start using your name to refer creep level.
Next time I say someone is a creep it's gonna be "omg. He's such a Katju."
