Sigmund Freud said, “Emotions that cannot be expressed, never die, and are buried alive, and then reappear in ugly ways.” You are dominant, merry, stain, liver. most of the Urdu literature books and novels are on the topics of connection and migration, unspoken emotions, regrets, and regrets. If you analyze Google’s statistics, Pakistan will be one of the countries where pornography is most prevalent. From the mountainous regions of KP to the shores of Sindh, even if the woman is passing by wearing a shuttlecock burqa, the men around her will keep staring at her until she turns the corner of the street and disappears from sight.
You can talk to anyone and see, after every two sentences, there will be insults on the genitals of mother and sister. If you listen to the statements of religious preachers and scholars, they will have shed light on the size of the ups and downs of the better maidens. Go through Pakistani dramas, novels, digests, movies, the focal point will be revolving around love affair only. We live in sick minded society where, even the honor of the corpses in the grave is not safe. You won’t find any mention of science documentaries, life on Mars, or robots, no one talking about Nietzsche, Russell, Einstein, or philosophy. We’ve built an ideal society based on our own traditions and values, after centuries of reflection.
The burden of dowry on girls is different. If it is a recognized fact that sexual gratification is a basic human need, and unless this basic human need is met, man cannot concentrate fully on other creative works, he suffers from mental disorders. Take the example of heart rendering incident on motorway that shook the foundation of the so called state of Medina. This is absolutely a stark depiction of how women are treated in this land of pures. A women being ganged raped in front of her children’s is no more a matter of shyness and humanity no longer remains a word known to these sadists.
We live in a society where a women and transgender are treated like beasts. We are the acrimonious hypocrites who use opposite genders as a source of extinguishing the fire of bodies. The beasts didn’t know that this incident will be anterior to her troubles through out her life. The misogynistic mindset and the filthy psyche has brought havoc and catastrophe. The public demand for publicly hanging the rapists will not put an end to incidents like the one occurred on motorway. The man convicted for zainab murder case was hanged. but has that helped in erasing child molestation, rape, murder? It never does. And sadly, rather than focusing on fixing men, our conservative society will use this appalling crime as an excuse or palliate to defenestrate women to the four walls. What we need is sex Education from early childhood.
We need to change the misogynist mindset that rape occurs due to the dress and seductive behavior of the victim. We need to unlearn the horrifying notion that if a woman lives in liberty and freedom, it means she is tempting to be harassed or rapped. It is astonishing that even a CCPO doesn’t knows this. Why refuse to believe? How long will we continue to produce poets, lunatics, madmen, and grieving generations instead of Newton, Einstein, Bill Gates? How long will we continue to force young people to spend two out of four days of life wishing and the other two days waiting? What science in the world, what psychology in the world, would call this society right? Who are we trying to deceive? Who are we trying to lie to? What kind of system of life is this where the expression and fulfillment of basic human needs is prohibited? When all the doors of truth and truthfulness are closed, everything is still there, but under the guise of hypocrisy, everyone claims to be an angel, and no human being can be found even after searching.
We have to admit that hypocritical societies do the business of lying to themselves and not to anyone else, and then suffer the consequences themselves. Freud said, “Emotions that cannot be expressed, never die, are buried alive, and then reappear in ugly ways.”
