Egyptian Prime Minister and wannabe woman’s hockey fan, Hisham Kandil, said on TV that a persistent epidemic of diarrhea among young children is due to women’s “unclean” breasts.

According to a Huffington Post translation of the original video clip, the prime minister said he has seen children get diarrhea because mothers are too ignorant to know to clean their breasts before breastfeeding their infants.

During his remarks, several of the meeting’s female attendees seemed uncomfortable, Al Arabiya’s English website notes.

Kandil received his doctorate degree in biological and agricultural engineering with a minor in water resources and worked at Egypt’s National Water Research Center (NWRC) for more than a decade.
