This could be a turning point for women everywhere.

Liam Payne has demanded that women be treated with more respect.

The Strip That Down singer hit back at a recent article in the Daily Mail suggesting that he was romantically linked to a female member of his team.

He said that the women he works with are “talented, smart, (and) professional” and called it “demeaning” that they were being linked to him in such a way.

On Twitter, he wrote:

“My team is full of talented, smart professional women. I find it wrong that they are reduced to being linked to me romantically in the press just for simply standing next to me.

“Isn’t it time we treat women with a bit more respect?”

Payne went on to say that articles such as the Daily Mail’s were making it difficult for his staff to do their jobs.

He said:

“So far the press have done this with every female member of my staff it’s demeaning some are in relationships and it complicates there [sic] work environment when they do this to them.

“I think it stops here.”

This comes after Liam and ex Cheryl announced their split just over a year after the birth of their son, Bear.

The singer is currently being praised online for his brave stance against the tabloid media.
