Indian actor and member of the Lok Sabkha Kangana Ranaut has spoken out against a wave of misogynistic memes targeting US Vice President Kamala Harris.
The memes surfaced after President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race and endorsed Harris as a presidential nominee.
Ranaut, known for her outspoken views, shared one such meme on her Instagram stories, which likened Harris to a "call girl," and criticised the sexist nature of the content.
"I don't support Democrats, but it's amusing even in America, an elderly woman politician who has been Attorney General of California faces sexism to this extent," Ranaut wrote.
"Honestly, these Americans think they are so modern, but they are so regressive, worse than Indians, to be honest. Shame."
Ranaut's comments highlight the ongoing issue of misogyny in politics, transcending national boundaries.
She called out what she perceives as hypocrisy in American society, which often prides itself on being progressive.
