India’s renowned actor and comedian probably didn’t expect so much backlash when he tweeted about summer holidays. Well, that’s what you get for still subscribing to gender stereotypes in 2018.

“Dear students n kids! Despite summer, enjoy your vacation. Drink lots of water after playing. Girls! b helpful to your moms in kitchen n learn cooking. Boys, go to your dad’s workplace n see how he works for your family! Bond thickens!” the actor tweeted.

Naturally, this tweet received a lot of backlash from his followers, male and female alike.

There are two things that are wrong with this tweet; a) telling girls that their place is in the kitchen. It’s not 1950s bro! b) assuming that only dads work to support the family. So moms don’t work hard for the family?

Here’s how his fans reacted:

Vivek decided to clarify the tweet – which kinda only made it worse. According to him, he didn’t mean girls have to stay in the kitchen “at all times”; just the holidays. Oh okay, that just makes it so much better.

நான் எல்லா நாட்களையும் சொல்லவில்லை. இந்த விடுமுறை நாட்கள் என்று குறிப்பிட்டு கூறி இருக்கிறேன். மதிப்பு மிகு பெற்றோர்கள் புரிந்து கொள்வர். அவசரப் பட்டு எதிர்மறை, மற்றும் கொச்சை விமர்சனம் வைப்போரையும் நான் ஏற்றுக் கொள்கிறேன். பாவம் அவர்கள் புரிதல் அவ்வளவே.

To summarise, we think that EVERYONE should help in the kitchen and EVERYONE should follow their parents to work.
