Bengaluru: The Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru has garnered a whole lot of applause online for having a diaper-changing station in the men’s washroom.
Ali Samhaan, a passenger from Maldives, spotted the station at the Bengaluru airport and tweeted about it, much to the elation of the internet.
“Saw this in Bangalore International airport men’s room,” Ali Samhaan tweeted with a thumbs-up emoticon. See his tweet:

Ali Samhaan’s post, meanwhile, has generated a debate on gender stereotypes on Twitter. “So what? Is that a task only for women? FYI men also do change baby’s diapers,” a user wrote in the comments section but Ali clarified that his tweet was indeed an “appreciation post.” Several others praised the airport for introducing the facility.
Sample the comments on Ali Samhaan’s post:
Men do change diapers and do house chores. There is nothing wrong in doing our house work. There is no rule book on this planet that says these are the jobs of a women. Parenting and household are to be shared equally. I may be wrong in in a patriarchal society, but I don’t care.

I am just pointing out the fact this is a good initiation. All airports and malls and social gathering places need to implement this.
