Osman Khalid Butt’s Funny Reply to a Misogynistic Tweet Wins the Internet | Six Screens
Twitter was on fire after a recent post about what kind of girl men “shouldn’t marry”. The tweet listed things like “a girl who doesn’t make breakfast, can’t clean, or doesn’t respect household roles”. Many people found it old-fashioned and offensive. But what made the internet laugh was how actor Osman Khalid Butt replied to it with perfect humour and sarcasm.
The Tweet That Started the Drama
It all began when a user shared a list saying men should avoid marrying women who can’t cook or do household chores. The sloppy tweet went viral for all the wrong reasons, leading people to label it both sexist and out of touch. It demonstrated that some people's beliefs are still very much alive — that women belong at home, under the domestic chores, and not as an equal partner in the household.
Osman Khalid Butt also had his own humorous response. He tweeted his own list, mocking the original tweet. His comments included, like, "Fails the saalan cooking test". "Can't fry an egg without a haya ka tarka."
Osman took a humorous jab, reminding us how ridiculous these standards are while making us laugh in a funny way of protest and signalling to all women not to be messaged about and be put down about the right of traditional roles.
The lesson to learn
Butt's tweet was hilarious, but it also had a lesson to learn. It reminded us that marriage must be about partnership, not whether a woman is able to do housework. This post shifted a serious topic to a productive conversation about gender equality.
Super Fans!
The internet was filled with responses from fans saying "brilliant", "bold" and "the best response ever". Many said it was nice to see a male celebrity using humour to reject such ideas.
