'Standing out among all the politicians with recent foot-in-the-mouth misogynistic comments, Union minister for women and child development, Maneka Gandhi, on Monday, claimed that "all the violence is male-generated" leading to an onslaught of criticism for her sexist remark.

During a scheduled public interaction on popular social media platform, Facebook, Maneka said that the role of men in gender sensitisation was critical as they are responsible for all the violence.

This digital interaction spewed controversy on yet another social networking site, Twitter, as people slammed the BJP politician for encouraging ‘misandry’ with such anti-male sentiments.

“Misandry is as bad as Misogynistic views. Violence comes from within irrespective of gender or race. #maneka Gandhi” tweeted one Susan Paul.'
