Anger at SA woman trouser 'ban' (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

Moves by men to stop women wearing trousers in a South African township have been condemned by politicians and civil rights groups.

Earlier this week, a woman in Umlazi township, near Durban, was stripped naked and her shack burnt down.

Men in the township are demanding that all women wear skirts or dresses.

South Africa's Gender and Equality Commission told the BBC that this was the first time something like this had happened in the country.

"It is extreme and the issue around this matter is being investigated by the police," the commission's Mfanozelwe Shozi told the BBC Network Africa programme.

1. "Stripped naked" ?? for wearing pants?? a bit odd, to say the least..

Again,.just another case of a bunch of men with waaaay too much time one their hands..time to sit around thinking up new outrages they can perpetrate on women...

Men + extreme religion + time on their hands = bad news for women
