Women not equal to men: Erdogan
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday declared that women are not equal to men and launched a bitter attack against feminists in Turkey, claiming they reject the concept of motherhood.
- Our religion (Islam) has defined a position for women (in society): motherhood, say Turkey Prez
- You cannot explain this to feminists because they don't accept the concept of motherhood: Erdogan
Istanbul: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday declared that women are not equal to men and launched a bitter attack against feminists in Turkey, claiming they reject the concept of motherhood.
Speaking at a summit in Istanbul on justice for women, the devoutly Muslim president said that biological differences between women and men meant they cannot serve the same functions in life. "Our religion (Islam) has defined a position for women (in society): motherhood," Erdogan told an audience of Turkish women including his own daughter Sumeyye.
"Some people can understand this, while others can't. You cannot explain this to feminists because they don't accept the concept of motherhood."
He recalled, "I would kiss my mother's feet because they smelled of paradise. She would glance coyly and cry sometimes. "Motherhood is something else." He went on to say that women and men cannot be treated equally "because it is against human nature."
