Model turned actress, Sadaf Kanwal, recently appeared on a talk show, ‘Hamare Mehmaan’ on ARY Digital with husband Shehroz Sabzwari. Post interview, her statements on feminism, Aurat march and roles in marriage have divided Twitter. Some support her while others go completely against her notion. Here’s what she said, followed by awaam ke khayalaat aur hamare khayalaat.

Sadaf Kanwal has taken Twitter by storm with her latest interview that called out “liberal” feminism and stated how ‘our husbands are our culture.’ This has, for obvious reasons, sparked a debate on Twitter. The model went on to state that being a wife, she has to take care of her husband, do chores for him and keep his things in order. According to her, it’s important that she knows her husband better than he knows her.

Many have said, rightfully so, that her ideas support the patriarchal and misogynistic schools of thought, where the husband dominates the household and the wife is submissive.

Sadaf went on to say that modern-day feminism and the whole Aurat March are there to increase and promote the idea of “liberal” feminism in society. She believes that the preset traditional roles are the sole way a marriage can work.

Why Her Statements Are Problematic?

The problem lies here, patriarchal views such as these, are harmful to those women who are in abusive, toxic marriages. At times, these views and thoughts can go on to ruin a girl’s life even if she follows all the rules and norms society has set for her.

Secondly, each relationship has its own dynamics. No two relationships are the same. At times, if both the partners are working, they may divide household chores to manage things. One might cook, while the other irons. One may go grocery shopping while the other stays home. Similarly, if it’s a housewife and a working husband, and vice versa, the chores may be divided too. Each household has a different set of rules and mantras that families live by. Imposing a mindset on a relationship that works for you might not necessarily work for someone who hails from a totally different socio-economic background – hence the backlash.

In a country where women have been physically abused because the food they provided on the table wasn’t served up warm enough, or not to the liking of the man’s taste buds, we are walking a tight rope on public statements on women’s lib.

Now, coming to the feminist and the Aurat march notions, they were based on the basis to help oppressed women, those in abusive relationships. These movements work towards breaking down patriarchal barriers and give a ray of hope to those who need it. So, questioning or contemplating them and even misinterpreting them is not okay. Background research is always needed.

Tweets Standing Against the Comments:

Oh no! But he irons for me too, (coz I detest ironing), sometimes he cooks too (happily), should I make him stop? Did I get it all wrong? Umm am I a feminist? Do I need to redefine my 20yr relationship based on what I just heard? To each his own! #SadafKanwal #Sherry #Pakistan https://t.co/qVwmRIEw9d

Ok but what's with the statement, "Mujhey Sherry ka pta hona chahiye…Sherry ko mera nai pta hona chahiye??"
The respect and care a woman gives to her husband, if she expects the same from him in return, is that really to much to ask for??#SadafKanwal pic.twitter.com/ZzYFCfQd0z

#SadafKanwal it’s a shame that the women in our society still think like this pic.twitter.com/wltM4K4lpI

#SadafKanwal my mother still cooks for my father not beacuse he tells her to do so but beacuse my mother knows how much my father enjoys food when she cooks … and she loves to see his happy face and he loves to praise her for every bite he takes … this is love not feminism

I cannot understand why is it so difficult to understand that feminism is about giving those basic rights to females which they deserve!No one is asking men to give up their own rights for females. Bhai bas sab ko sakon sy jenay ka huq dy do! #SadafKanwal

“Women are not oppressed at all, in fact, they are very strong & Feminism is caring about husband & respecting him" #SadafKanwal thinks feminism is nothing more than a result of ‘liberals’ taking over. She is Right coz Reality can't be deny, more power to U brave lady 💯 pic.twitter.com/b5Wg3FgNEg

The support for these views is alarming as people are not realising how hard it will be for many women who face domestic violence despite trying to please their husbands and in-laws in very oppressive households.

Lastly, it might be fair to point out that perhaps media houses should refrain from asking personal questions from their guests. What Sadaf Kanwal does inside her home, and her relationship dynamics with her husband should not be a topic for public discussion, that said, perhaps celebrities like Sadaf can also refrain from responding to questions that might gaslight Twitter into backlash mode!

We, along with many others, thought that this mindset was subsiding in the modern world. But the bitter reality is that patriarchy and misogyny still exists in Pakistan today. Online campaigns, petitions have to an extent helped women evolve, be independent, step out of their homes, breaking societal and patriarchal norms but the road is still long and full of obstacles.
