Oh, let's not forget about this tweet telling Abbasi to follow Islam first. Though, not to protect women, but to set a good example for them... erm... thanks but no thanks.

It almost seems as though Muslim women can never win these days. Some are judged for wearing too much, while others are judged for wearing too little. They are criticised for "not speaking up" enough, yet are silenced the moment they open their mouths.
A number of men across the racial and religious spectrums sometimes take it upon themselves to advise (aka mansplain) Muslim women to try and let them know what is best for them.
This happened recently after a self-proclaimed intellectual gave some 'brotherly' advice to Muslim women: Follow Islam and you will not be abused:
Women should follow Islamic principles to save themselves from men's exploitation and abuse.— Ansar Abbasi (@AnsarAAbbasi) August 6, 2017
Needless to say, Twitter users were not happy:
Why can't YOU control the filth in your mind and sexual predatory of your eyes? https://t.co/NPyQ4n7l4v— Umar Aftab Butt (@documaraftab) August 6, 2017
Blame culture may not be exclusive to Muslim societies, but Muslims took particular offense at this because of the way it strays from Islamic values and allows cultural values to take precedence over religious morals and decrees.
Because men cant follow the islamic principles that were for them. https://t.co/CYH2sT0qiZ— Anas Tipu (@teepusahab) August 6, 2017
while men keep having fun flouting Allah's orders not to even stare at women eh? https://t.co/NPyQ4n7l4v— Umar Aftab Butt (@documaraftab) August 6, 2017
Men, on the other hand, are free to exploit and abuse anytime, anywhere.— Zaeem Khan (@zaeemazharkhan) August 6, 2017
Mr Abbasi it's ok not to tweet once in a while. https://t.co/DOqichxJUT
While others began to rectify the notion that Muslim women are immune from abuse:
how about men stop exploiting and abuse women ; a concept. https://t.co/QPitNtfqWE— mori (@cac0gen) August 10, 2017
Men should follow Islamic principles to stop themselves from exploiting & abusing women. https://t.co/IzMcmAvjUn— Khadija (@MissKhadie) August 9, 2017
And men's exploitation and abuse start with men like you, telling the victims to behave instead of addressing the predators. https://t.co/ONQFGDH69I— andrew. (@itsnotJesusXO) August 8, 2017
Tell that to women who get molested/abused in burqa you knobhead. https://t.co/TbCzOxQql3— Saad Amjad (@SaadAmjad_) August 7, 2017
Analogies were also used to present Abbasi's attempt at finding a correlation...
Vegetarians should start eating live animals to save themselves from eating cooked meat https://t.co/vG3PeX4lMD— FoolishOfficer (@IndiaSpeaksPR) August 8, 2017

When men will follow Islamic principles women,children will definitely follow as men are "rahber" women and children are followers... https://t.co/86evVyBNHW— Abbas Malik (@AbbasMalik13) August 6, 2017
