New Delhi: The moral custodians of society have done it again! This time a Tamil magazine named 'Kumudam' carried their cover story on how womens wear leggings is both vulgar to wear and also calls for male attention.

This bizarre connection got the magazine in serious trouble, as the virtual world trolled them on Twitter. The story published in the magazine, held women folk responsible for male gaze. The cover story blamed women for wearing tight clothes such as 'leggings', which attracts men's attention towards them.

However, this opinion doesn't seem to have clicked with the readers, as internet users slammed the magazine for such a regressive thought and also demanded an 'apology'.

Here, take a look at what Twitterati posted:
