London, May 15: A Zimbabwean politician has asserted that women should be compelled to bathe less and shave off their hair to make them less attractive , which would help curb the spread of HIV.
Senator Morgan Femai told a conference that he believed the killer disease had spread as men found it difficult to resist attractive and well-dressed women according to a report on the New Zimbabwe website. The politician reportedly insisted that new laws should be drawn up forcing women to make themselves less attractive to save men from themselves . Addressing a parliamentary workshop on HIV awareness, senator Femai compared his plan to some Christian sects whose women he said also sometimes had clean-shaven heads.
"What I propose is that the government should come up with a law that compels women to have their heads cleanshaven like what the Apostolic sects do," he said. "They should also not bath because that is what has caused all these problems."
The politician compounded his comments by explaining his belief that moisture inside women's bodies made them more vulnerable to the HIV virus.
