Have compiled a list of Pakistan's misogynist men in politics for ease of reference:
1. Nawaz Sharif (who told women at his rally that they were 'honourable' women, unlike those women who attended PTI rallies; who harassed a foreign female journalist; and who engaged in character
assassination of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto).
2. Shehbaz Sharif (who thought it was important for his party to take credit for the construction of the Motorway while discussing the gang-rape of a woman on that Motorway).
3. Imran Khan (who refused to support Aurat March; who
continues to support policing of women; and who deemed it appropriate to judge who a "good/real mother" is during a TV interview).
4. Asif Ali Zardari (who made a foreign dignatory feel uncomfortable by repeatedly commenting on her appearance & saying he would hug her after the
press asked for a handshake b/w the two).
5. Abid Sher Ali (who claimed that there was 'nothing to touch' when asked to physically back off from a female MNA, who told him not to touch her).
6. Talal Chauhdry (who, among many other sexist comments, claimed that a female MNA
had come into the assembly by sleeping her way into it; and who also claimed that if Firdous Ashiq Awan washed the makeup off her face, she would be Firdous Khan).
7. Khawaja Asif (who called one female Parliamentarian a 'tractor trolley' & another a 'dumper').
8. Asad Umer (who
termed the CCPO's victim-shaming comments "unnecessary" instead of condemning the same & calling for his removal).
9. Imdad Ali Pitafi (who asked a female MPA in the Sindh Assembly to come to his Chamber while on the floor of the house).
10. Khursheed Shah (who claimed in the
Parliament that if women were interrupted while speaking, they would fall ill).
11. Hafiz Hamdullah (who abused and attacked a female journalist on TV).
12. Rana Sanaullah (who attempted to tarnish the character of female participants and attendees of PTI rallies).
13. Riyaz Fatiyana (who regularly harasses his female colleagues in the National Assembly).
14. Mian Javed Latif (who attacked the character of Murad Saeed's sisters).
15. Sheikh Rasheed (who repeatedly abused Benazir Bhutto, among other misogynistic comments made in the past).
16. Asim Sajjad Akhtar (who is a known harasser yet remains protected by his party, despite the fact that he has harassed countless women in+outside the party, who have been bullied into silence).
17. Fayaz ul Hassan Chohan (who made abusive & sexist comments re a Pak actress)
18. General Musharraf (who claimed women get raped to get asylum and citizenship abroad).

I'm sure there are many I've missed (bec the rot runs deep) so pl add below bec we must identify & challenge these ppl on every forum available to us.
