Russian Lawmaker Says Women Are “Not Complete Human Beings”
Russian State Duma deputy Alexander Ilytyakov has sparked backlash after saying that a woman cannot be a “complete human being” because, according to his interpretation of the biblical creation story, Eve was made from Adam’s rib.
Ilytyakov said:
“God created a wife for Adam from his rib. Therefore, a woman cannot be a complete human being because she does not possess the full state of the body.”
He also claimed that a man without a wife is “disabled,” arguing that men and women only become complete together.
The same lawmaker previously urged Russian women to have children “while the baby-making parts still work.” Russia’s State Duma ethics commission later said that remark was not insulting.
