The prime minister spoke to the nation on Sunday, and not everyone liked what he had to say.

Since then, scores of people — several of whom are familiar names — have taken to the internet to voice their opinions about the prime minister's statements. While the premier got support from some quarters, many were heavily critical. Some even expressed fear and nervousness at the reality of having a man with such opinions being at the pinnacle of power in Pakistan.

The content of the premier's speech has spread over the internet like wildfire, and the main takeaway was that temptation and vulgarity can be blamed for rape.

Activist and politician Jibran Nasir kept it simple. He pointed out where he found the flaws in the premier's statement, and made the case that 'power imbalance' and not 'temptations' lead one to commit such a heinous crime as rape.

Academic and activist Ammar Ali Jan shared this sentiment, but his words touched a nerve. Our greatest tragedy is that we refuse to learn lessons from our tragedies, he wrote, hopefully awakening public conscience.

Lawyer Reema Omer made it stupid friendly. She listed down her thoughts to make an easy to follow and digestible version of what should probably be obvious. Thanks, Reema.

Other Twitter users echoed the thought.

One user thought it was time we forwent myths about rape, and prioritised putting an end to rape culture.

Users didn’t like the PM’s moralising and how it seemed that he hoped to impose his own morals on everyone else.

We hope that the Twitter savvy prime minister takes a looks at the tweets about his speech and takes note — many citizens of Pakistan didn’t appreciate what you had to say.

@Imran I don't think you can blame this one on his wife only when this is the normative way of viewing sexual assault. Society puts on blindfolds, pretends the elephant in the room isn't there and blames the victim. It's lack of education of imortant basic things and patriarchal rigid conservative mullahs and men running this country in the face of facts and common sense. IK had no issue sowing his wild oats when young, living in London, enjoying life as any western bachelor and in old age such men get a moral awakening which starts the day they get married. Education education and education is the way.

@Bibby you have an extremely simplistic and wrong view of the world. I assume you haven't travelled much or had much exposure to other Muslims. Western/West is not a monolith. Millions of Muslims are born and live in the West despite having roots in the East. They dress western while practising their faith. Westerners don't have own clothes or fashion. Majority Muslims outside Pakistan wear western clothes or did you think Arab, Turks, Bosnians, Chechs, Persians all wear shalwaar kameez and dubatta? You are nobody to decide or dictate what the women of your household can or can not wear. It's their choice. Islam has not made force halal. You don't seem to take issue with many Pakistani guys inside Pakistan wearing western garb? Ah those pesky double standards and need to socially control women and their bodies. Your comment is unrelated to the topic (sexual assault). Nothing to do with clothes. Otherwise go cover up men, boys, children, animals who also get raped in Pakistan

Ok, rape is an act of violence, not lust/desire. That is based on some papers written by the western organization on surveys and interviews within the western culture. In a culture where nudity is not taboo, sex is not a mystery, consensual sex between two adults is not frowned upon. Pakistan is different, where sex is taboo, where most people don't have intercourse until they get married, where pornography is widely available so people fantasize but can't do anything. where the most many men can do is to stare at women. That culture breeds animals, not humans, where men rape because they get that chance because they are curious because they know they won't get caught because they can do that!

Temptation is materialized when predator comes across a powerless prey be it a woman, a female child, a male child, or even adult males. Multi prong approach is required to control the abuse. 1. Reduce temptation triggering elements e.g. stop obscene visual arts (for me obscene is any thing that violates the moral code) 2. Empower the powerless, teach them defensive techniques 3. Serve swift public justice to the culprits

In Pakistan it is a fact that most rape cases go unreported so our unofficial number is much higher than our official number. Even the PMIK confirmed this. This article is about Pakistan. Let us stick to. This topic. Why do you think men, young boys, children, dead bodies in graves and even animals are raped in Pakistan? Its not religion, it is not Fahashi its misogyny and patriarchy running amok without accountability, hudood (limits) for boys. Most parents don't raise their sons right and but spoil them and society thinks what ever men do is fine because boys will be boys. Rape predates Islam, modern entertainment industry lolly wood, Hollywood, bollywood. It's ancient. So clearly Fahashi does not explain our rape culture in Pakistan.

In cities when these Wadaras or Chaudries migrated they bring the same whole corrupt system with them. Their children their family members, even their house mates understand this corrupt system better than a educated person living in city. They start buying houses in posh areas of Pakistan. While living in the city they start learning to become behave and pretending to be educated, but old people said 'family habbits never changes'. Their children needs girls, alchol, go and check their refrigerators, their mobiles, you will find lots and lots of evidence. Normally educated families children are involved in education.

In Islam making back biting/false accusations/lander is equal to eating the flesh of your dead brother. So the case still stands. We have low number of rape because victims are afraid to come forward and those that do, know its impossible to get a conviction. A girl who openly says she was raped will be viewed as tainted and no man would want her for marriage. Society will blame and shame her even accuse her of trying to get famous, rich etc. Look up PMIKs statements. Even he said that the reported cases don't even make up 1% of the actual number cases.
