''Wrinkly women'' - responses are brilliant)

[msmoby]

It all started with the marriage of a 17 year old bride to a 47 yr old husband in Chechniya - HE IS ALREADY MARRIED !... but Chechniya - once again - proves it is not 'bound' by RF laws forbidding Polygamy ...and the min. marriage age is 18..

In steps the next 'player': Russian children's rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov came out to defend the marriage. "Let's not be prudish. Emancipation and sexual maturity happen earlier in the Caucasus. There are places where women have wrinkles at age 27 and they look 50 by our standards," he said.

Whoops....


Women online took offence at his remarks, too !

Feminist activist and journalist Bella Rapoport scrunched her face and posted an Instagram selfie with a new hashtag (#сморщеннаяженщина) which means "Wrinkled Woman" or "Withered Woman". Nearly 500 photos have been uploaded with the tag in the last week. In their posts, the women call Astakhov a "hypocrite" and blame him for allowing the marriage to a girl who many consider a minor.
