Someone needs to remind Polish politician Janusz Korwin-Mikke that's its 2017, **t 1717.*
People are furious after Korwin-Mikke, a member of the European Parliament, remarked that women are "weaker," "smaller" and "less intelligent" than men, and therefore should be paid less.*
The incident occurred during a gender pay gap debate in the European Parliament on Wednesday. Parliament was nearly empty at the time, but people can be heard gasping and even laughing at *Korwin-Mikke's remarks.
