How far has the mindset of Pakistan changed in reference to women?
India and Pakistan were the ones before it got separated in the year 1947. A line divided the one nation into two and there began the never-ending fight between the two nations. Though, the civilians of both the countries want only peace and want to live with the cordial relationship with each other.
The population of both the countries love cricket, they talk similar, they think similar as they are the child of one motherland. Also, the population of Pakistan has similar expressions we are versed with back here in India but, we never openly admit the same.
There are many similarities between both the nations not only in what I described above but also when the male-dominated society upheld its culture in reference to women. The society of both the nation has the similar thinking for women loving in their country.
When we talk particularly about our neighboring country Pakistan, the country is pacing towards development and women are coming out of their shell to make their names. But is it really at the grass root level? The answer is given by a Pakistan girl Sidra Amin. Amin is a Twitter user and she summed up the life of women in Pakistan in a series of tweets. These tweets of Sidra Amin are hilarious and show the grass root level mindset of Pakistan for women.
So, let’s have a look at the hilarious yet close to the real thread of tweets of Sidra Amin:
1. Sidra’s first tweet was like a hullabaloo on the Twitter
Being a woman in Pakistan.
Thread:
1. I am physically & financially able to buy roti from tandoor but I have to send a bhai/kaam wala instead because men wouldn’t like it. But then, when men bring me down, their question is, “Have you ever waited in a line in a tandoor?”

2. When women face ‘yahan na baithe, wahan na baithe‘
3. You can’t do certain things at workplace that you can otherwise do easily because, “bibi jee, aisay na karen, acha nahi lagta.”
Had no place to sit at in HMC because yahan na bethen, acha nahi lagta, wahan na bethen acha nahi lagta. Bibi ji ended up standing for 6hrs.

3. When men themselves consider women, a weaker section
5. It is okay to stare at you because of your gender, even if you look very normal, aren’t overdressed, and have no horns on your head.

4. When fingers point at women for being a woman
I got a lot of hatred for this thread from all across because "You defaming the country" or "this doesn't happen in our privileged neighborhood."
But the amount of likes, retweets, and replies from people who experienced this is a testimony that so many women suffer.

5. Sidra’s tweet on how people advise her to be stopped
But the world doesn't become a safe place for others when you deny bad things are happening because they aren't happening around you, or because your interpretation of religion makes the bad okay. If something is making someone feel bad, the religion probably doesn't support it.
