Why even have girls schools if they can't teach them to be slaves to their husbands?

LGS should rename itself to Lahore Groom Slaves, burn all the science books, and teach young girls to make better wigs, so Qasim Ali Shah never appears on camera looking like this again. pic.twitter.com/pQdrTprfNv

Others are criticising him over his anti-women feedback, saying that women’s goal in life shouldn’t just be limited to being good wives and mothers.

So how to adjust in a patriarchal society in a much BETTER way,should be taught in Schools as girls got only 2 ultimate roles in life,of a wife & a mother.

Are Schools going to teach boys their ONLY 2 ultimate roles,of a better husband & a better father?#QasimAliShah #Pakistan https://t.co/YvoPBFxlrG

Women are more than wives and mothers. First and foremost, they are humans and have the right to be recognized by their identity. Repeat! And schools aren't meant to be educating on how to become perfect wives and mothers. Can we stop with reducing women to predetermined roles. https://t.co/ZkbOfogimd

There have been multiple incidents when prominent personalities in Pakistan have made misogynist remarks in the past. Member of National Assembly Talal Chaudhary making lewd remarks about Firdous Ashiq Awan, and soap-opera writer Khalil-ur-Rehman using abusive and foul language with Marvi Sirmed, are two of the recent examples.
