KOCHI:

MP

's wife courted controversy after she put up a post on

with a caption reading “Fate is like rape if you can’t resist it then try to enjoy it (sic)”.

Anna Linda Eden, a

Kochi

resident, later took down the post and issued a clarification.

Her post, which ended with a wink

was accompanied with visuals of the sudden flooding in Kochi city on Monday and Hibi Eden having dessert.

Anna faced severe criticism for trivializing rape. People came out with hashtags like ‘#SayNoToRapeJokes’ and #EndRapeJokeFilth while pointing out that her post was disheartening and was awfully hurtful to survivors and their families.

Anna, in an elaborate post on Tuesday, said that she was replicating a comment by an actor that she heard during her school days.

"I was going through a really tough time. I was not trying to insult the gruesome state that many women had to face...I am extremely sad that such misunderstanding happened due to my post. I express my regrets," she wrote in

.

Another section of social media users while criticizing the 'mean' post, also pointed out that tagging the woman merely as ‘MP’s wife’ was equally deplorable.
