Casual sexism and harassment are so common in our society that most of us fail to see them as dangerous and threatening. Especially when it comes to a married couple, we look the other way despite spotting problematic behavior because “it’s their personal matter”.
However, people have been calling out this husband after he threatened his wife in a bid to discipline her. According to India Today, a video was shared by a Twitter account named Pakistan Tourism where the husband threatens to open the safety harness while riding a cable car.
He threatened to do so in a bid to stop his wife from pestering him. The wife even touches his feet and begs him not to scare her all the while apologizing. While this might seem fun and games, the “revenge” that the man was plotting was dangerous, to say the least. There are various other ways to stop a partner from annoying you. Trying to open the safety harness while riding on a cable car at a considerable height is not one of them.
Have a look at the video here:

Pakistani Tourism, are you seriously using it to promote your business?
This is terrible. It’s not funny at all.— vd (@vd0228) December 25, 2022
Are you out of your mind?
What are you trying to portray?
This is in extremely poor taste. Please take it off social media.
The models who acted for this piece of shit should also be ashamed of themselves.— Salman Rashid (@odysseuslahori) December 27, 2022
Pakistan tourism, are you seriously promoting violence against women? Shame on you.
