The gender fight continues! The aurat march must be a month old but we can’t seem to see the wave it spread going down anytime soon. The (in)famous board that was waved in aurat march created much bigger fight than imagined! The board read as: “Khana Khud Garm Karo”. These words were enough to ignite the fire which is spreading miles and miles away. It seems like people were unable to understand the main purpose of aurat march and are striking conversations that attack women! It is sad to see some insecure men coming with arguments which were triggered a random poster in the aurat march which mentioned or targetted no one in particular.
It is saddening to see that in a country where women are being killed over the matter such as not serving fresh and warm food while unfortunately some people’s ego got hurt over a board waved in aurat march! So in this endless debate, an MQM worker jumped in too. M.r Syed Ali Raza Abidi posted a photo of water dispenser on his twitter account saying that “Pani ki bottle khud badlo” to which many women came about to teach his some sensible lesson. In the list of those women was Mahwash Ejaz who gave a cracking response which may have left many misogynists silent!
Here’s Ali Raza’s Tweet!

Here’s what Mahwash has to say about the above tweet!
I pick up the gallon bottles from the grocery store, bring them home & change the water filter. I am five feet two inches and not exactly a weight lifter.
Women are stronger than you think. https://t.co/YPrTYv8aVy

Women are stronger than many people’s argument!
Oh also haha I have given birth twice, I have breastfed my children, carried them with my scars, held them down when they were being vaccinated or getting haircuts or generally in need of pretty much anything. I have also changed lightbulbs & fixed IKEA furniture. @abidifactor

All the randoms chores that women do, without chanting on social media!
I don't understand the obsession with which men are picking and choosing random chores just to attack that one funny slogan. Seriously, your masculinity is so incredibly fragile.

But this has become a trend men of every size and shape thought it to be their duty to respond to the “Khana Khud Garam Karo” post! Well, the internet is a crazy place to be! Have anything to add to the story? Comment below your Khana-khud-garam-karo moment and let us know. Cheers. 😉
