This chapter aims to explore how discourses on morality and identity of a Pakistani woman are led and shaped by the conservative and liberal publics on X. This chapter also traces online exchanges between the oppositional publics across two hashtags that emerged after airing of a TV show that debated the slogan ‘My Body My Right’.

摘要

This chapter aims to explore how discourses on morality and identity of a Pakistani woman are led and shaped by the conservative and liberal publics on X. This chapter also traces online exchanges between the oppositional publics across two hashtags that emerged after airing of a TV show that debated the slogan ‘My Body My Right’. Using CDA as its principal method but further complemented by an interview with the feminist who appeared on TV, the chapter will evaluate how an overarching Pakistani public on gender was divided on the issue, thereby giving rise to a liberal gendered public and a conservative gendered public on the slogan.
