Patriarchal norms have stained our society in a number of ways. Women are the apparent victim of the continual oppression led by those who outright exercise a deed to intimidate, harass using obscene language and threats.
In a recent case, a girl from Karachi received threats from a person whom she claimed to have exposed, as of his involvement in an appalling act. According to her, the guy and his friends were seen exchanging an inappropriate encounter with a transgender in the middle of the road. She confronted him and his company and dealt a difficult situation thereafter. The group hurled abuses and threatened to “rape” her.
She wrote about the whole encounter on her Facebook profile, which reads…
As I shared this earlier, about the video in which these boys were hooking up with transgender in the middle of the road. So today, this guy ASAD GADAR messaged me this, that he’d get me raped & what not LOL!
Well, how coward he is that he has blocked me immediately after sending this message.
This is what educated families are teaching their sons to hook up with transexuals & follow girls on roads.
BFQ-377, this car followed me till I reached the safest point under my dad’s friends place. Till guards & Dad came out.
Four boys in this car, including his cousin Zain Suria, stopped my car & then harassed and Abused me, they had heated conversation leaving saying to kill me!
Spread this as much as you Can I hope their families especially sisters & Mom come across this & witness how shallow & lifeless their sons & brothers are!
Attaching the video just in case, he thinks what he and boys were doing was right!
I wish one day their sisters go through this too!
Followed by, she lodged a complaint to police and according to this update, the matter has been resolved
The bottom line remains that a guy casually boasted of power and influence in order to intimidate someone. Not to forget, oppressing a woman using a rape threat reveals a kind of a feudal mindset here. Do you know someone who has had a similar encounter?
