A Case for "Aurat March" - The different side of Story

[Crusher]

................ In the UK, acceptable political opinion is broad and only extreme or almost-objectionably harmful opinion is marginalised. E.g racist attitudes are not given legitimate political space and are abhorred and dismissed. In Pakistan, we're operating on a different end of the spectrum, perfectly acceptable criticism of say societal attitudes towards women can quickly be shut down given a few protests of instances of ultra-feminist ideals that are muddying the waters. Worse than this, in Pakistan there is actual censorship of the media behind the scenes, I know of a few examples where journalists have been pressured indirectly and removed from airing certain criticisms of certain institutions. Although that last comment is not directly relevant here, it points towards differences in level of acceptance of political thought. The examples that I can think of would stir an outrage in the UK where I am or in Germany where you are, but not in Pakistan.

UK is not the centre of europe or world, germans, french, italians, spanish and russians all have totally different behavior and mindsets compared to the anglo-saxons. So what happens in UK doesn't have much importance for the rest of world except the english speaking countries or former slaves/colonies of UK. No one in europe looks up to the british in any sphere of life.

What on earth does that have to do with what I was saying? I was making a point about acceptable speech in most other developed countries, especially through personal experience, in comparison to Pakistan.
