Tales of a Sexist Double Standard

Available for over a year

Sexist double standards. It’s a topic that’s older than social media itself, but which has nonetheless recently been a talking topic on social media in Pakistan. We delve into this issue through the lens of three viral stories - all of which shed a different light on the debate - and we hear from those who are fighting back. Also, a Facebook group which runs under the provocative title “Dysfunctional Veterans” has gained a massive following online. We look into this online effort to help former US soldiers, and hear from the man who set it up.
