Is this really true?

I came across this post - text book in India that compares wives v/s donkeys!!... and the state officials say - "The comparison was made in good humor"... cmon I dont buy this!!.... How do they expect children to grow up and respect women... and we talk about living in the 21st century and about equality between men and women... But herez a very nice reply to the wives v/s donkeys comparison!
