'Bras Came From West: It's Correct To Throw Them At Westerners' - Brilliant Response To President Sirisena

December 28, 2015

An anonymous reader who posted a comment on Economy Next business and financial website gave a brilliant response to President Maithripala Sirisena's controversial remarks on Enrique Iglesias's "Love and Sex" show in Colombo. 

The President, addressing a public meeting in Ampara said, it was appalling to see a woman throwing her brassiere at the singer performing on the stage.  He said those who organised the show - including famous Sri Lankan cricketers Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena - should be whipped with with toxic stingray tails' over the behaviour of female fans.

The witty comment posted on the Website last evening gave a brilliant response to the Sri Lankan President Sirisena's remark resembling a religious police.

"Bras are alien to our culture. It is mostly a Western appendage. So throwing it back to a Western person is the correct thing to do.Furthermore it is the missionaries who forced our women to wear bras. 

As late as the British period missionary school teachers were sewing tops at their own expense and giving them to women in rural areas. This girl who threw away her bra is doing two things. 

She is going back in history to the Sigiriya period and beyond.She is also following in the wake of suffragettes who did controversial acts and women libbers who burnt their bras." the reader, who posted the comment under the name 'Culture Vulture", said.
