Osman Khalid Butt Mocks Toxic Masculinity Online
Osman Khalid Butt, known for blending artistry with activism, has once again used his voice to challenge outdated gender norms in the entertainment discourse.
The actor, celebrated for his outspoken views on women’s rights and equality, took to X (formerly Twitter) to critique toxic masculinity with his trademark humor and intelligence.
His response came after a viral clip from the drama Jama Taqseem sparked debate, showing a husband complaining that his wife stopped preparing his belongings.
A social media user shared the clip, joking that marriage seemed frightening if men expected wives to manage every personal chore, from socks to belts.
Soon after, another user defended the stereotype, arguing that men should avoid marrying women who “cannot tie a tie” or “leave shoes dirty.”
Osman Khalid Butt jumped into the conversation with a perfectly timed reply, saying, “This list is weak. Allow me to expand.”

He then posted a satirical thread exaggerating such expectations to absurd lengths, turning social media ridicule into a powerful reflection on ingrained gender entitlement.
The actor’s witty response not only challenged the post’s outdated premise but also reignited discussion about unequal domestic labor and emotional expectations in South Asian households.
Users across X praised his wit and courage, calling his post both hilarious and thought-provoking. One user humorously remarked, “After Jinnah’s 14 points, we now have Obi’s 26 points.”
The viral exchange once again highlighted Butt’s reputation as one of the few male celebrities in Pakistan who consistently uses his platform for social commentary rather than self-promotion.
From advocating justice in the Noor Mukaddam case to partnering with The Citizens Foundation to support girls’ education, Butt’s activism reflects sincerity rather than performative allyship.
