A MANS PLAYLAND

No matter how empowered or educated the Pakistani society might be (which is quite rare) it never fails to surprise me with its unlogistical point of views towards girls and the social standing they have created for us.

Just yesterday a group of friends and I experienced something so downright detestable and deceiving that for a second it felt like a cheap joke. Firstly Lahore being one of the developed cities of Pakistan does not host a lot of recreational spots and the ones it does, has the decency to claim how girls aren't worth activities such as 'Go Karting'. I understand policies based on weight/height etc for customer safety but lol what logic keeps 'girls' as a whole out of the picture. When asked what responsibility do they hold if a boy does what their afraid only girls are dumb enough to practice, their answer was quite simple; 'we aren't, you play on your own risk'.

Imagine a person having drove an hour to get to a place only to hear the person pictured below say "larkiyun ke liyey nae hai ye" (This isn't for girls).
