Since few days, Twitter threads on how girls are undermined based on their colour, education, cast or any such Pakistani taboo are going viral with hordes of comments daunting men on being a dominant part of this society. However, this guy should be awarded an Oscar for finally giving a voice to all the men out there.
It was just a Twitter thread, but it is worth reading over:
Ladies discussing why they were rejected for rishtas. I’m pretty sure men would have similar stories too. Someone make a thread on it.

And here comes the irony!
Well. I was wasn’t rejected on the basis of my looks. I was rejected on being a Shia, being a Syed, not being rich and this is the best one*

The inevitable problem…
And because there’s no woman at my house. ‘Humari baiti wahan mardon may akaili rhay gee’ ?

And he just had to begin this conversation, and all the men out there started to cry their hearts out too:
@kahayfaqeer The top of the crop was a family that had a problem with the fact that I supported my mother(a widow) financially.

Well we could make all the fun out of it we want, but the matter is that this issue is legit and will remain one. No doubt that this rishta circus has successfully destroyed the confidence of men too, though we fail to acknowledge it.
