Re: Live Updates of Azadi March
Two wrongs never make a right. I hope you are not suggesting that because I trust your wisdom.
Someone making fun of Shareen Mizari’s hair or droopy eyes is least of my concerns. Regardless of gender, all public figures have to pay a certain price for fame. But what I find really disturbing in this case is the women that are being targeted and objectified aren’t even public figures! They’re just ordinary women gathered to campaign about a cause they believe in and having bit of fun just like their male counterparts. I’m not saying no woman should be criticised just because she’s a female. Our very own Theresa May is attacked left, right and centre for her policies and views and simply for just holding a position, but the issue here is the crass sexualisation of women.
There’s actually a thread here where die hard Nawas Leaguers were drooling after her pictures, I see the same reaction from many Noon league supporters on social media as well.
Needless to say whether it’s coming from PTI, Noon league or politically homeless, objectification of women is simply wrong and unacceptable. I really appreciate Imran for constantly reminding his crowd to be respectable towards the female marchers, and I am so very glad that no unfortunate incident has taken place in that gathering.
