Harassment seems to be all too common now. Yesterday, a girl from Karachi shared her and her sister’s traumatic experience of sexual harassment in broad daylight on a busy road.
Here’s the post:
Choosing to remain anonymous, the girl shared how she and her sister were driving back home from Karachi DHA’s Phase 8 petrol pump located on Shujaat Road. They made a small pit stop on the side of the road, when they noticed a black Corolla pull up and park about 25 feet away from them.
Just when the girls were leaving, the driver stepped out of his car. Shockingly, he pulled down his pants and started masturbating in front of the girls, while looking at them.
They were on the main road while encountering this unbelievably disgusting behavior by this man.
The girl continued saying that she and her sister were so numb by the incident, that the only thing they could think of was to follow this low life and teach him a lesson. However, they backed off after coming to the realization that they were two young women driving alone and could potentially land into serious trouble in case this psychopath decided to lead them to an isolated area of the town.
They decided to leave it at that but not without getting some sort of information about him. But before they could do anything, this self entitled idiot decided to get out of his car and masturbate one more time! However, this time the girls were prepared to take pictures of the guy and his car’s number plate.
Soon, this incident spread like wildfire and was all over various social media platforms.
This is dusturbing af but i gotta do this today. Sharing, on behalf of a sister.

Ever since news broke on the internet, the Twitterati have jumped into action. And let’s just say, we have some very mixed emotions about the way people are reacting. See, some people are actually defending the guy who carried out this blatant act of harassment.
Like this pseudo-Sherlock here asking for proof.
Where is the proof, may be you have some personal issues with him and you made this story. And if he did it in public this means he is mentally not stable. @TubaAtweets

And this individual used the mera jism meri marzi debate to justify a man masturbating in broad daylight.
I remember when I asked a girl during ramadan to cover her curves and navel as it was making me feel uncomfortable, she replied "mera jism, meray kapre, meri marzi". This is exactly how I have planned to answer such girls since then.

He even defended his perspective…
Nothing, just an alternate perspective.
But yes its wrong to do it in Ramadan, and most probably she was a stranger which fell victim to unwanted visuals. But this is something we have induced into society by our own acts.— MistaVeracious (@VeraciousMista) May 23, 2018
…multiple times.
Yes. whats the difference? When a girl is completely aware of the fact that her outfit is going to cause moral corruption, her presistence should be considered as harmful as masturbation.

This person apparently urinates in a way that’s legit jail-worthy.
That’s…not…urination. That’s legit harassment.
Have you ever thought he might be a diabetic and was urinating??

Matlab, there was a lot of confidence that went behind this disgusting thought process.
An SJW will always find excuses to be the centre of attention. Fly away, before I whip out my fly swatter

Because apparently, this isn’t something to get mad at.
Your obsession with all things 'penile'. It takes some disgusting thought process to come up with it but who am I to judge.
Perpetual outrage machine never ceases to amaze me lol— Ma Anand Sheela FC (@SheelaFc) May 24, 2018
However, thankfully, these geniuses were combated by people who could differentiate between right and wrong. The Twitterverse was quick to defend the ladies and tackle trolls defending this blatant harsssment with promptness.
For instance, this person outlined the overly evident proof.
Look at the last pic. The proof is right there literally in his hands

This guy was less subtle.
Bhai ki choti nunnu isn't proof enough for you?
— Qasim Ahsan (@smqasimahsan) May 24, 2018
Some people tried to talk sense into naysayers.
So logically you just compared a girl showing skin to a guy masturbating in the open and consider that equal? Wow I really don’t know what to say to that…
— Badtameez (@the_badtameez) May 23, 2018
They even pointed out why this behavior is dangerous.
Speechless. Animals like him make us all unsafe. Seeing a girl’s ‘curves’ is the same as a man standing on a road masturbating in public? Why do animals like this even fast? What is the point of their religion? May God rot their souls.

People started calling out those who defended the harasser.
A sexual harasser will always find excuses for another sexual harasser.

Thankfully, a vast majority tried to support the ladies

…and others expressed disgust and shock.
Ramadan or not this is clearly sexual harassment. And to the people who say why tweet this. She is tweeting it so you don’t have to see someone masturbating in front of you
— Ubaid (@uakhan86) May 24, 2018
Astaghfirullah, this man deserves to be punished publicly. Ulta lita kar chittar mare jayen and let whole world see this live.

Undoubtedly, for such an incident to take place in broad daylight is extremely unnerving. Here’s hoping this is resolved soon. Should the guy be punished, according to you? Let us know in the comment section below.
