Social media users hit back at Women and Family Ministry through various memes for their sexist posters.

To promote household happiness, women must not nag their husbands to partake in household chores; they should, instead cajole him, in voice like Japanese cartoon character, Doraemon (who is male), and a giggle too.

This is the advice from the Women and Family Development Ministry through one of their posters to promote “household happiness”. (The ministry has since issued a public apology and taken down the offending posters).
