And men did not hold back, they said it all!
Our toxic society who think if guys dress up everyday like this they are not masculine. https://t.co/fOa4qxoiRn

Many blamed it on the double standards that the society has set:
Y'all love to share this but if a middle class Pakistani guy wears anything other than a t shirt y'all start throwing transphobic slurs at him. Fuck your double standards https://t.co/nNVzSW3zPn
