OTTAWA: A brouhaha has erupted over comments made online by Canada’s former prime minister Kim Campbell — the only woman to have ever held the post — admonishing women news anchors who appear sleeveless on-air.
Campbell, who was prime minister from June to November 1993, triggered the debate with a tweet that read: “I am struck by how many women on television news wear sleeveless dresses — often when sitting with suited men”.
“I have always felt it was demeaning to the women”, she said. “Bare arms undermine credibility and gravitas!”
Critics lashed out in response to the tweet, saying the focus should be on women’s abilities, not their attire, and that women should wear whatever they find comfortable and helps them feel confident.
One pointed out that former US first lady Michelle Obama often wore sleeveless outfits, while another noted that Campbell herself posed for a provocative photograph when she was attorney general in 1990. ing counseling, seminars etc. to educate the Indians living in Kuwait informed President Saifudheen Nalakath in a press release.
