Dhaka University’s Public Administration Department teacher and Assistant Proctor Shehrin Amin Bhuiya, known as Monami, posted on Facebook on Monday highlighting examples of misogynistic remarks made by individuals from different political backgrounds. In her post, she noted that despite representing three distinct political parties, the leaders she referenced shared a common tendency to make obscene and derogatory comments about women and female politicians. She criticized the use of the 'women card' by these parties ahead of elections to project a commitment to women’s rights while failing to address internal misogyny.

Monami expressed concern over the lack of unified resistance against such harassment, arguing that outrage over misogyny often depends on political convenience rather than principle. She pointed out that party leaders and supporters frequently remain silent or even participate in coordinated attacks against women, including the use of AI-generated images to demean them. She also accused self-proclaimed centrist and leftist groups of maintaining deliberate silence when misogyny arises within their own ranks.

She concluded that unless all political parties are held accountable for harassment and abusive behavior toward women, claims of women-friendly politics and empowerment will remain hollow slogans.
