One of his controversial comments on gender equality is, “I don’t think the world has ever been equal. The modern society we live in has been built by men….and I think now if you look at the roles of the society I believe men are still doing their job. But I don’t know if women are doing their job. Men are still out here building the modern world, but when they come home now the girl’s like ‘oh why should I cook for you?‘ ”
