When Prime Minister Of A Country Is Anti-Feminist

Finally, former cricketer Mr. Imran Khan has been elected as the Prime Minister of Pakistan after a long 22 years of struggle.

But what if the Prime Minister of a large democratic country is against the progressive movements like Feminism? Less than a couple of weeks back, he has clearly stated that he is against this Western movement of Feminism. He said that feminism degrades the role of mothers.

I couldn't find more detail on what is his understanding of feminism and how do feminism can degrade the role of mothers. But his stance against feminism is very loud & clear.

A few days back former President Pervez Musharraf too have retweeted a post from his political party's account which said that Reham Khan (Imran Khan's second ex-wife) being a lady should be ashamed of herself for writing whatever she has written. To this Reham Khan rightly asked, "Who is anyone else to decide, when and what a woman should speak?"

But it seems to me that current political atmosphere and thought process is anti-feminist in Pakistan.

It's true that most people don't have proper understanding of progressive movements like feminism, LGBT (or LGBTQIAPD or whatever), veganism etc. But if people in power don't have adequate knowledge about this movements and their philosophies, they should avoid taking any stance on them in public.

With such careless and lousy statements, what message they intend to give their own citizens and the world at large?
