Male Tailors Banned: No More Ladies Measurements

In a surprising move, the Uttar Pradesh Women’s Commission has proposed a ban on men cutting women’s hair or tailoring their clothes. This move seems to be aimed at preventing ‘bad touch’ incidents to prevent potential misconduct.

The proposal states that only female tailors and barbers should serve women. It also includes the installation of CCTV cameras in tailoring shops, along with mandatory female staff at women’s clothing stores.

This proposal has sparked a huge debate on social media, with people from both sides ready to take on each other in the comments. While many have supported these measures, some have come forward against it.

One user praised the move as he wrote, “Women should feel secure in these spaces. This could make them more comfortable.”

Another user strongly voiced his opposition to the pre-assumption of male misconduct by saying, “Skill, not gender, should decide who can provide services.”

A user humorously pointed out that many women themselves prefer male tailors, often trusting them for their expertise. This move could seriously limit their options.

The Commission’s aim is to push this proposal further for legal review, with an ultimate goal of turning it into legislation to ensure safer ‘women-friendly spaces’ in fields that are mostly male-dominated.
