In an era of technological advancements and evolving lifestyles, outdated and regressive thinking still lingers. Misogyny continues to thrive, often flaunted openly. Recently, a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) drew widespread criticism for its blatant sexism, prompting singer Chinmayi Sripada to respond with a powerful rebuttal. Her response has since gone viral.
Misogyny Unveiled: A Controversial New Year Tweet
On January 1, a user named Venom posted a New Year tweet on X that quickly sparked outrage. The post stemmed from a statistic shared by Blinkit’s CEO, who revealed that 1.2 lakh packets of condoms were delivered across India on New Year’s Eve.
While many viewed the statistic as a sign of growing awareness about sexual health, Venom used it to showcase his regressive mindset. His tweet read:
“Blinkit CEO posted that 1.2 lakh packets of condoms were delivered last night. Just for last night and just for Blinkit. Other e-commerce sites and market sales would be as high as 10 million.”
What angered readers the most was his concluding remark:
“Good luck finding a virgin girl to marry in this generation.”

This statement implied a deeply sexist perspective, equating a woman’s worth to her virginity while ignoring personal choices and privacy.
Chinmayi Sripada’s Bold Response
Singer and activist Chinmayi Sripada, known for her fearless stance on women’s rights, refused to let the tweet go unchallenged. Sharing a screenshot of Venom’s post, Chinmayi delivered a pointed and unapologetic reply.
She wrote:
“Men have sex with women. Then men complain they want virgins. Men need to stop having premarital sex with women—ask your bros and male friends to NEVER have sex till marriage—unless they were buying condoms to have sex with goats, dogs, and reptiles.”
Her response highlighted the hypocrisy of men who perpetuate double standards while shaming women.
Social Media Reactions
Chinmayi’s powerful response resonated with many, sparking widespread discussion. Netizens expressed their disappointment over the regressive tweet and applauded Chinmayi for holding such mindsets accountable.
The conversation underscored the importance of challenging outdated views and fostering a more equitable perspective on gender and personal choices.

Dude, did you check. Your parents could be one of those 10 million to order in bulk to get over the regret of not having used one after you came out.

A physical relationship at a younger age is becoming more and more common these days.
But looking at “Virginity” applies to both a boy and a girl equally.
If I were getting married now, I would look at the partner’s mental and physical stability more than anything else.
