NOT ALL MEN- Once Again Stealing The Spotlight From What Truly Matters

As #NotAllMen trended on Twitter, many women were outraged at the audacity some people had, at a crucial time like this, to shift the attention from the perpetrators and the lack of laws against domestic violence to more trivial issues such as differentiating between “evil men” and those we can “rely on”. Honestly, is this really the time to put the spotlight on men when every day a woman gets mercilessly butchered to death?

As a nation, we don’t shy away from speaking up for what we believe in but should some things just be left alone, unrefuted? Is everything even debatable? Shouldn’t there be some issues that we can all collectively agree on, instead of trying to one-up the other? I think it’s about time we understood that oppression isn’t a competition.

One of the things that is non negotiable is that all women deserve to feel safe and protected at home or at the workplace and must have the liberty to exercise their freedom of expression. In just a matter of one week three women suffered unjustly by the hands of men in our society. A woman named Bushra was killed by her husband who was a drug addict named Raza Ali and his daughter Saima had to stand against her own father to raise her voice for her mother. While Qurtulain, who was a mother of four children, was brutally murdered. Noor Mukadam, who was the daughter of the former ambassador to South Korea, was killed and then slaughtered by Zahir Jaffar.

Sadly, there is no end to this brutality and every day there is another Noor, Bushra or Qurtulain. In light of recent events women have expressed their tribulation on social media and shared their own experiences. There is an uproar demanding justice for these women and making our society a safer place for all.

However, the message was overshadowed and the real issue brushed under the rug as it soon fueled the ego and hurt the sentiments of Pakistani men.

Men in our society felt judged as many women believed them to be a part of the problem and thus, partially responsible for what’s happening. Naturally, they started feeling personally attacked. Ever since then, Twitter has been inundated with tweets debating this issue with each side sharing their side of the story.

All Men Are Protected By The Patriarchy

When u say NOT ALL MEN u divert the attention away from the *bad men* to the *good men* and issue isn't finding the ratio of good to bad men; it is abt
realizing that ALL MEN (good or bad) are equally protected by patriarchy and given privileges that women never had #EndFemicide

“Kyunke Aadmi Kharab Hain”

Pakistani men: "Not all men"
Also them: "I don't allow my sister to go out. Because mard zaat ka bharosa nahi"

men won’t let their daughters/sisters date because they know what “other men” are like. they won’t let them hang out with men because they know what “other men” are like. they won’t let them go outside alone because they know what “other men” are like. but still “not all men” lol

The Patriarchy Benefits No One.

Literally men are afraid of other men, then how tf anyone can say not all men.

Shifting The Focus Towards Petty Matters Once Again

It’s bitterly ironic that males in this country become more triggered at the not all men debate rather than the brutal murder of innocent females. #EndFemicide pic.twitter.com/BP4r03wwZq

"Not all men"
The point is why you guys get so pressed about this? How can we identify who is and who is not. Everyone needs to be called out. You guys get butt hurt over a phrase meanwhile women keep on losing their lives. Also don't let this hurt your fragile ego pic.twitter.com/IseNst7Slw

Be The Change

I apologise for the pain my gender has caused.Those women were humans, their life was precious. There families suffered and still are suffering. If you're a "not all men" kinda guy then man tf up and prove them that it's "not all men".
Be the change.

A man to man talk.
Hear me out
Please I beg you. Instead of proving the fact that “not all men” prove your individual self by not making women around you uncomfortable. Ask them again and again if anything or anyone is making them uncomfortable. After this NOOR incident Although

What Are You Doing To Help The Women Around You Feel Safe?

Rather chanting Not All Men it’s time “MEN” should try creating safe environment for women. Protect women around you even if you don’t know them. In offices make women feel safe because of your presence. In buses & markets make sure no other man is able to harass any woman.

— Eimaan (@Cynosure100) July 25, 2021

Granted we can’t generalize men under one label but as a woman, I wish everyone knew that we are crushed from the inside and feel hollow right now. We feel exposed and vulnerable, prone to any kind of abuse and violence. It’s not that we blame all the men for the evils of society but we wish that they understood that we simply can’t overlook the many times we’ve been stabbed.

Is it so hard to understand our emotions? Why not just sit down and talk to the women in your life and ask them how they feel? Maybe the sorrow and discomfort in their eyes might convey the message even before their words do.
