Egyptian ladies: your babies have diarrhea because you’re too “ignorant” to clean your breasts, according to your country’s leader.

Egypt’s Prime Minister Hesham Qandil recently told a cabinet meeting that the root of the diarrhea epidemic in rural Egypt isn’t problematic water resources but dirty moms.

“There are villages in Egypt in the 21st century where infants get diarrhea because their moms are too ignorant to clean their breasts before feeding them,” he said, according to Al Arabiya‘s translation. Female cabinet members “seemed uncomfortable” during these remarks, according to the website.
