In Antalya, women under 160 cm banned from going outside due to storm: the network exploded with ironic comments

A strong storm has been raging in Antalya, Turkey, for two days. Wind gusts reach 70 meters per second, and the height of the waves on the beaches rises to 6-7 meters. In this regard, the governor has banned women shorter than 160 cm from going outside to avoid being blown away.

The authorities announced the ban on Twitter. This provoked dozens of ironic comments.

"A warning from the governor: In Antalya, girls under 1.60 were banned from going outside because of the danger of being blown away," the post read.

The post has received some funny comments. In particular, local residents humorously wonder why no one took care of the safety of short men.

"Thank you very much for your concern, I was very afraid that I would fly away," "Why only women? It's sexist!", "The men I see in Antalya who are 155 cm tall may not return home this evening because they will fly away," users write.

However, some Internet users concluded that the post was a prank, and there was no official ban from the authorities on this topic.

The coastal city of Montecito, which is called a real paradise for the rich, was at the epicenter of the natural disaster, as it is home to many American billionaires and famous stars. In particular, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, as well as the legendary host Oprah Winfrey.
