PTI leader and former cricket sensation Imran Khan recently said in an interview to The Sunday Times that he was probably “the most known Pakistani ever in its history.”
This did not go down too well for a lot of Pakistanis, including Shahbaz Taseer, who took to Twitter to voice his opinion regarding the matter:

He didn’t stop there, but went on to further list many famous Pakistanis.

And while a lot of people disagreed with his views,

One troll went much further and took this opportunity to make a pretty dark joke.

And what Shahbaz Taseer said next was as distasteful and inappropriate as the troll.

Although what this twitter troll said was just plain wrong and horrible, Shahbaz Taseer should have seen him for the obnoxious troll that he was and definitely should not have brought misogyny into the mix by involving the person’s mother. This kind of degradation is already rampant in our society and we can honestly do much better!

The fight broke up eventually and the comments that ensued are further proof that if someone is disrespectful to you online, you should, can or will offer a rebuttal by lashing out at their mothers, sisters or daughters.
