The world is becoming a worse place to live with each passing day, especially for females as they get to witness unpleasant incidents on a regular basis. What’s more pathetic is that there has been a constant increase in such crimes and no matter how independent, educated and civilised we call ourselves, the truth is that our women are insecure, even inside the house. Agree?
We often stumble upon videos of men m@sturbating at girls or women in public place, be it in a bus, train or on road. However, the bitter truth is that hardly any action is taken against such people despite the fact that it’s also sexual harassment.
A pic of a Lahore man who is showing his private part and m@sturbating in broad daylight is going viral on the Internet and social media. A Facebook page named Pakistan Speaks shared the photo and the whole incident in detail. The post has been written by a friend of the victim who was inside her university van and managed to click his pic before he could wear a mask.
Here’s the Facebook post:
“FLASHING, SEXUAL HARASSMENT incident:
Today a friend in lahore was in her university van. The van had stopped to wait for another van opposite Barkat Market. As they were waiting, a man on a bike rode by and flashed the girls in the van. His p*nis was out and he was m@sturbating. He went back and forth for about 4-5 minutes looking into the van of girls who had not just not consented to this but were also in their teens. My friend was able to take a picture of him after which he immediately put on his mask. The van driver was on the other side, waiting for the second van. When my friend finally summoned up the courage to say something, he left.
Sexual harassment through public m@sturbation is a very real issue. I’ve seen men do it outside my university. Usually rikshaw walas or bikers. I’ve heard my friends narrate similar incidents. I’ve seen drivers parked outside malls do it.
When i was younger, i didnt tell anyone because i was scared i would be blamed. Please share this so that hopefully someone can recognize this complete piece of shit and he can at least be humiliated if not have his p*nis cut off.
Men like this need to be publicly castrated.

This pic naturally stirred controversy on social media and while many are condemning the act, there are some people who don’t find it offensive, saying that it’s his body and his choice (Mera jism, meri marzi).
If you remember, Pak women in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore did ‘Aurat March 2018’ this International Women’s Day to protest against the sexism and innate misogyny. A specific poster that had “Mera jism, meri marzi (my body, my choice)” written caught people’s attention and now some netizens took this phrase in a completely wrong direction and justified the pervert’s act.
