Actress Ushna Shah took to her Instagram stories to educate her followers about how slut shaming women for the clothes they wear is wrong and the men who indulge in this habit need to be called out. She shared a clip of tiktok user @/tizzynet who was reacting to a man questioning whether a woman’s clothing was inappropriate or not. The woman in question was a school teacher who was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. To this, tizzynet responded by reprimanding the man for sexualizing the woman who was trying to do her job, and then encouraged his followers to understand that its inappropriate to take a woman’s picture without her consent and then slut shame her on the internet:
“Pants? A top that covers everything? That’s the issue?” he asks. “Because she has a shape, it’s a problem for you? You know God damn well if she was built like Sponge Bob Squarepants no one would have given two sh*ts and no would have taken the picture…How about we talk about the fact that this woman is trying to educate children and do her job and she has some fool sexualizing her? How about we normalise not sexualising a woman for having attributes that we desire? How about that?”

Ushna Shah had shared the clip on her Instagram stories and below it her caption pointed out how shocked this tiktok user would be by how much women are harassed and inappropriately sexualized for the clothes they wear, and urged her followers to listen to him:
“Hahahaha imagine if @tizzyent came to Pakistan his head would implode from the sexualization of women…Meanwhile, most men, please listen to him!”
In her next Instagram story, Ushna Shah pointed out that women wear any kind of clothing out in public whether it has sleeves or not they are immediately subjected to harassment and abuse from men. She reminded her followers that the problem is with men need to stop policing women’s bodies and let us live our lives!
“When my well endowed female friends wear fitted T-shirts it’s ESPECIALLY inappropriate
When women with curvy behinds wear fitted jeans its EPSECIALLY inappropriate
When my friends with beautiful arms wear sleeveless it’s ESPECIALLY inappropriate
It isn’t the clothes. It’s the sexualization of our bodies… if an attribute is attractive them it’s inappropriate because they can’t control themselves.”
