Zanu PF legislator, Joseph Chinotimba has said women are also guilty of abusing young boys and men dispelling the notion that its women who are only abused.
Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday, Chinotimba said it was wrong for women to always blame men for abusing them.
He said a lot of mane and boys are also abused by women.
"It is not everyone who is clean. I cannot point out names. It is not only the abuse of women that is happening but there are women who are also abusing boys," he said.
"We have a story that happened in Chitungwiza whereby a 65 year old woman took a young man aged 20. Again, we have a child who was 17 years and was herding cattle. He was taken by a woman aged 55.
"That issue went before the courts. I think as women debate this issue, as what was said by the Hon. Member that gender is not all about women but about men and women.
"Men are being violated; some of the women are the ones who spoil these children. The mother brings home a boyfriend and a child witnesses this. Now, when this child behaves in the same manner - that is why I said that if a child acts likewise, it is because they would have seen the mother doing it".
He said a lot of women go to beers halls at night and come back home with boyfriends in full view of children.
"Mothers should be clever and protect their children. You might not agree to this but this is what is happening. The women go to the beer halls, they come back with a boyfriend and the children are there and they see this happening.
"Some of us have rural constituencies so, when we come here we leave our wives behind and you see that mothers send their daughters to borrow sugar from such a man. Imaging borrowing salt from a man leaving alone .
"That is not what is expected from a good mother to send a child to go and borrow salt from someone's husband instead of her going by herself. Instead they send their daughters to go and borrow salt from Mr. Chinotimba. What do they want Mr. Chinotimba to do when they send their daughters, knowing well that the wife is in the rural areas?".
