Talking About 'Gender Equality', Pakistani Scriptwriter Says Women Should Gang Rape Men
Screenwriter Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, got a little too candid in an interview with Entertainment Pakistan, while he was talking about his new drama Mere Paas Tum Ho. His new drama talks about a woman who is married and cheats on her husband with her boss.
He opened up about his views on gender equality and who according to him is a ¡®good woman¡¯. He also proclaimed ¡°You can¡¯t find a bigger feminist in Pakistan than me¡±. Talking about loyalty, he said that it is solely the responsibility of a woman to be loyal, adding that he believes in equal rights for women, but his remarks said something different. He said, ¡°A woman¡¯s only beauty is her self-respect and honour.¡±
The interview got dirtier after this when Qamar said, ¡°When people ask me about equality, I ask them if they have heard the news of five men kidnapping a woman, to which they reply yes. But then I ask them if they have heard the news about five women kidnapping a man,¡± he said.
¡°If women want equality, they need to do the same things men are doing. Go and rob a bus, abduct a man and gang-rape him. Only then I would know there is equality,¡± he added.
Here's the interview:
He further said that, ¡°Women don¡¯t know about their rights, they want a share of men¡¯s rights, which they can never have. They will never be allowed to wear shorts in the subcontinent¡±.
Qamar also believes that it is a woman¡¯s fault, who tempts man into cheating their wives. ¡°A woman lures a man into an affair and it is the woman¡¯s fault that she is ruining other people¡¯s marriage.¡±
The screenwriter was also aware that his opinions will definitely receive backlash. ¡°There are specific groups who will tweet about me but there is nothing else they can do.¡±
Obviously people started lashing out at him.

Khalil ur Rehman Qamar's comments are further proof that the only thing Pakistani men care about is sex.

"We don't want to wear a Hijab"
"You are asking to get raped"
"We want to go out and earn for ourselves"
"You will get raped"
"We want equality"
"Please rape us"

'Mard ke paas inkaar karnay ki kabliyat nahi hoti,' I wail as my wife leaves me after my nth extramarital affair. 'Barbaad bhi tussi karrahay ho, aur fir galaan vi,' firing one last potshot as she slams the door in my face.

Men like him (Qamar) are why we will never strive as a society. He reduces women to manipulative whores and men to hormone driven animals. Why is he still getting work? Why does he, of all people, still have a voice?! Keep fighting the good fight @aClockworkObi

" Even men remarry and indulge in extramarital affairs. Why do you choose to be so selective?¡¯ I just had one question in response, ¡®But with whom? A woman, right?'¡±

His view of society is problematic. But, he is saying what we don't want to hear but it's some how is the truth. Although some of his statements clash with each other. I would like for him to explain it more in depth. Like, why he came to this conclusion. It would be interesting.

Such twisted ideology.

He expects everything from a women
A wife should not leave her 'righteous husband' even after a hundred thousand affairs just because she will damage the 'face of other women'
What load of crap!!
Women now have to deal with people like Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, who have the power of media to change the world, but end up talking like this on a public platform.
