Well, apparently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s sexist comment “Despite Being a Woman” has caused a surge of opinionated tweets on twitter.

On Day-2 of his visit to Bangladesh, the Prime Minister goofed up big-time! In an attempt to what seemed as praising Sheikh Hasina, Prime Minister of Bangladesh, NaMo ended up doing just the opposite.

“We know solution for everything, but not terrorism. I am happy that Bangladesh Prime Minister, despite being a woman, has declared zero tolerance for terrorism,” the Prime Minister said in his hour-long address to Dhaka University on June 7, 2015.

What exactly were you trying to imply, Sir?

So is the #PM trying to say we women are generally tolerant of terrorism? #fail #despitebeingawoman

Err, pardon me, but I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you of..

It appears PM in Bangladesh has had amnesia about a heroine the Hindutva brigade otherwise is fond of. Rani Lakshmi Bai. #DespiteBeingAWoman

#DespiteBeingAWoman If I speak against #narendramodi, will I be arrested or banned? Now I know #misogyny through PM's words.

#DespiteBeingAMan I can't think of a single wise crack to use the #DespiteBeingAWoman hashtag.

…others are feverishly supporting their dear Prime Minister.

This #DespiteBeingAWoman is a MSM trick similar to #ModiInsultsIndia, twist PM's statements and show a successful visit in negative light.

FYI Narendra Modi deposited 18710 gifts worth 19 crores towards girl child education #DespiteBeingAWoman These journo never did anything

This guy took it to a whole new direction:

When #DespiteBeingAWoman can trend for NaMo then why can't #DespiteBeingOfNoUse trend for @ArvindKejriwal #GhantaCM

This one here is my personal favorite. Clever humor! *Grinning*

Hahaha-No #DespiteBeingAWoman for us-secretly we are all men-just carefully shave our moustaches off every morning:) https://t.co/RrD238QA16

Being a woman, it is frustrating to hear things like this, even more so, when coming from the PRIME Minister of the nation we live in. Yes, this is chauvinistic, sexist, unfair, and 10,000 other things! But I think the real problem is embedded deep inside the thick skulls of men who still believe that women are weak. Period.

Mister Prime Minister? Hello? Are you listening?

Tell us your take on this controversy, #DespiteBeingAWoman!
