The Kaaf Kangana actress stressed the need for everyone to discover their own gender expression. There’s no right or a definite way to gender expression. After all, it’s just a social construct.
“Boys will be different from everything the world has so far told them they have to be in order to be a man.”
Enforcing gender stereotypes not only leads to insecurity but also toxic masculinity. People lauded the actress for her positive approach.
While some Netizens agreed with Ayesha Omar, others completely missed the point.
Some of these people overlooked the message and focused on the fact that Ayesha Omar is unmarried. Celebs like Sushmita Sen have already proved that being a good parent doesn’t require that you go through the motions and get married first. You can always adopt.

Sorry to say she has no right to comment about parenting when she hasn’t experienced it. Handling other’s kids or reading about it does not provide the same level of experience as a person who parents them. Also, this thinking that boys are not told to be disciplined is becoming tiring. Boys are told the same way women do. If they weren’t told then they had bad parents.
