BIARRITZ, France, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Brazilian women are probably ashamed of President Jair Bolsonaro, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday, hitting back after the Brazilian leader mocked Macron's wife on Facebook.
The leaders have been feuding in recent weeks, with Macron blaming Bolsonaro for fires in the Amazon and accusing him of lying about climate change policy.
Bolsonaro responded on Sunday to a Facebook post that compared the looks of his wife Michelle, 37, with Macron's 66-year-old wife Brigitte.
"Do not humiliate the man hahahah," Bolsonaro wrote, in a comment widely criticized as sexist.
Asked about the incident at a news conference in Biarritz where G7 leaders are gathered for a summit, Macron said the comments were "extremely disrespectful" to his wife.
"It's sad, it's sad first of all for him and for Brazilians," Macron said. "Brazilian women are probably feeling ashamed of their president."

He's 64 and she's 37 - even more age difference than the Macrons (27 yrs vs 25yrs). She's his third wife.
Powerful, older men with a trophy wife should keep their damn mouth shut about other men's spouses considering most men are not subject to severe criticism of appearance as we age as do women.
Such mocking is arrogant, immoral and sexist........
