There’s almost always a debate going on at Twitter and today its about women normalizing inappropriate clothing in the name of women empowerment after a guy tweeted this out:
Normalizing inappropriate dressing and calling it empowerment is wrong. I would get uncomfortable if I see a man walking around in his briefs and vest too.

And people had a lot to say!
Many were keen on everyone having the freedom of what they want to wear:
and we should drop dressing discussion. Everyone should have a freedom of choice. We should learn to ignore something which we don't like!

Jo baat hai!
The day men in Pakistan stop discussing how women dress or should dress up, would be the real tabdeeli. https://t.co/atxhlsEZKK

Many dared him to say this to a gori:

There were personal attacks!
This shows the lack of others culture knowledge and awareness you have!

Some believe that haya and behaya lie in the eyes of the beholder:

Many were sharing how they’d deal with the situation:

Some wanted to stop normalising crimes:

Many were of the opinion to look away if they didn’t like what others were wearing:

Many were sharing what women face on a daily basis:
Would you be uncomfortable if you saw a man publicly masturbating to the sight of you in the street? Because that the reality women in Pakistan face.

Shots were fired!

Some were appalled at the comparison:
men are whipping their entire dicks out in the middle of the road, masturbating in parking lots, pissing against walls, shitting in bushes & this asshole thinks its comparable to a woman wearing sleeveless? gtfo https://t.co/c68xSWaW6v

Many thought it was a common sight already:
Summer in Lahore are marked with shirtless men/men in vests splashing around in the stream that flows through the city.
But okay. https://t.co/TDMg5v1xH4

Some were up for a fair comparison:
Won't reciprocal of briefs and vest for men be bikinis for women? I don't think anyone is normalising bikinis.
If your "inappropriate" is sleeveless, compare it with men wearing sleeveless and shorts.
Oh, and don't forget men masturbating and shitting in public!! https://t.co/LQ2ftVTSf7— A 🌈 (@NicoAngelochxh) December 4, 2019
Some advised him to lower his gaze if he had a problem:

ignore and walk away beta, Its not that hard https://t.co/VVM16AdStd

Many called him out on commenting on women being a man:

Many men came forward with incidents they’d seen:

Some were of the opinion that both men and women should be educated on appropriate behaviour:
Agree. Both men and women needs to be be educated. #womenempowerment https://t.co/PEl0HBYtCT

Some were defending him:
Aisay dress pahenay walay loog yehe kehtay Hain Kay apki soch gandi hai na Kay hamari dressing
— Sheikh Afzaal (@SheikhAfzaal111) December 4, 2019
And in the end, came an explanation:
There is nothing wrong with wearing what you want but recently people have stopped knowing the difference between appropriate dressing for appropriate occasions due to this. You cant wear your pajamas to an interview and you can't wear a three piece suit to bed. https://t.co/zYod9sSjQu
