President Samia Suluhu Hassan made the comments at a ceremony on Sunday to celebrate the victory of a national men’s team in a regional football championship where she also called for better funding for women’s sports.

“For those who have flat chests, you might think they are men and not women. And if you look at their faces you might wonder… because if you want to marry, you want someone who is attractive, a lady who has the qualities that you want, those qualities have disappeared. The life of marriage is like a dream to them. Because even if one of you here takes them home as your wife, your mother will ask if they are a woman or a fellow man.” said the President

Critics are saying her comment was very disrespectful to women in sports and women generally.
