While Mawra Hocane continues to deal with misogynistic comments following her tweets on the matter, one Twitter user has stood up for her and all other women in Pakistan. Aunty Pakistan has taken it upon herself to tackle the rampant growth of sexism and misogyny in our society.
Payare Afzal stop describing for women what is morally right. I wonder what you think of the women you date without marriage @iamhamzaabbasi

Needless to say, Aunty Pakistan has become an online hero overnight. It didn't take long for her to comment on the Shaan-Mawra incident and boy! Did that tweet go viral:
3 things which makes women a "Slut" in Pakistan?
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
1. Men's insecurities
2. Men's insecurities
3. Men's insecurities@Shehzad89 @MawraHocane
The brave woman even took a dig at Junaid Jamshed:
Dear @JunaidJamshedPK is it Allah who doesnt like to mention women's name or is it men like you who can't stand women getting importance?
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) August 30, 2015
#PakistaniWomenProblems First wear sleeveless Kurta made my Junaid Jamshed then get judged for wearing sleeveless Kurta by Junaid Jamshed
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Even Hamza wasn't spared:
Hamza & I went to beach together. He looked like a stud in his costume & I looked a Slut in mine. Thank u Misogyny #PakistaniWomenProblems
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Pakistani Culture: Woman cant dance on screen in short clothes. They can only dance in Drawinging rooms, farm houses, Hamza's mind, weddings

Within four days, this brutally honest aunty wrote over 250 tweets and has more than 3,000 followers. She must be doing something right with all her blunt tweets to gain so much popularity among the young generation:
Haha! This aunty is too good:
Mujhe itna Retweet na karo logon, Kahin Shaan mujhay Ban na karday! #WaarNahiPyar #PyarKiYalqaar #KhudaKayLiyeKaroPyar
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Dear Ashraf Chaudhary, every time u call a woman a Slut, I feel like kicking u between ur legs but main Na Mehram ko touch nahi kerti.
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Her favourite topic is misogyny and she is a cold-hearted cynic who everybody seems to adore:
Boys, when u tell your friends how u scored with us , u are not defaming us u only are addressing ur insecurities abt your manhood #PoorBaby
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Rape mera ho aur Moun bhi main band rakhon. Waah reh Pakistan, yeh kesa tera insaaf. Zulm ko roko, mujhe bolnay ki himmat do. #AuratKiAwaz
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
She addresses basic issues without shame -- from dramas to Imran Khan, nobody is spared on this aunty's watch:
Dear Men, just like u dont like any boy checking out ur sister/gf, I also dont like when you undress me on the streets with ur tharki eyes
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Dear Hum Geo Ary Urdu1, the day u show more progressive independent women is the day I will say I am proud of our dramas.
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
.@ImranKhanPTI proposed to me but he wanted me to wear Dupatta 24/7. Ausay mujh se nahi dupattay se pyar tha. So i give him my green/red one
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Pakistani Dramas, written/directed/produced by independent women but protagonist always plays a helpless woman. Inspire us not stereotype us
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
And people are overjoyed with this aunty's doings:

Don't think I have ever followed anyone as quickly as I followed @AuntyPakistan. Usually quite selective about who I follow.

And then there's our funnyman who never fails us:
@AuntyPakistan aap bohat funny hay. Mera improv troupe join karay gi?
— Shehzad Ghias Shaikh (@Shehzad89) September 1, 2015
Wouldn't we simply love that!
Her honesty knows no bounds:
When ur husband/bf taunts u that a visit to the parlour is due pluck his eyes brows and watch him cry like a baby in pain. #AuratNotOrnament
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Next time u call a woman a prostitute, try imagining the horror a prostitute goes through everyday. U aren't half as brave as those women.
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Dear men, you raise your voice and your hands on women because you know u can because you know she is scared. Real brave of you isn't it
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Dear followers men and women if u ever called a woman bitch/slut pick up the phone and say sorry to her. Sirf Retweet na karo #IzzatKaro
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
Next time u make fun of a woman PMS-ing plz note that the healthy uterus which gave birth to ur misogynistic ass did the same. #PMSPride
— Aunty Pakistan (@AuntyPakistan) September 1, 2015
She's a thorough entertainer and her tweets will tickle your fancy. Make sure to have a tissue box by your side to wipe away those laughing tears. Aunty Pakistan is bold, blunt and everyone's new favourite.
