Chinmayi Sripaada Schools Sunitha Upadrasta For Her Statement On Feminism Slams Man Commenting My Acid My Choice

She spoke about Sunitha’s comments on women’s dressing and added, “Because this whole point is, if you have rape-y eyes that you make even a woman with a dupatta, what sort of mindset was that? It’s a worthless position when even people of influence in society are brainwashing you to be handmaidens and puppets of these men.”

Chinmayi also pointed out the recent issue when a woman was forced to prove she was wearing a sanitary napkin at a NEET exam, and the case of a 14-year-old boy raping a 9-month-old family member after watching porn. “The entire concept of my body, my right is to not have men decide on women’s bodies, including reproductive rights,” she said.

In an interview with Gulte, Sunitha spoke about feminism and said, “My body, my right. And his eyes, his right. When women say it, then it’s his right too. In my opinion, it doesn’t come under freedom.” She has since received massive flak for distorting a feminist statement about bodily autonomy into something else.

Despite having a Master's degree in Journalism and over a decade of experience in print and digital media as a field reporter and sub-editor at organisations such as The Times of India and Reader's Digest, Neeshita Nyayapati remains a movie buff first and a Chief Content Producer second. She fell in love with movies in childhood and believes nothing matches the magic of watching a good film that moves you with a warm tub of popcorn in hand. Her love for writing about cinema follows that. Come Friday, you'll find her at her happy place, the movies, catching the latest rom-com or masala offering, for reviews or otherwise. As for the rest of the week, she's here reporting the juiciest news in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi or bringing out the best of celebs in interviews. While her niche is Telugu cinema, Neeshita likes to dabble in a little bit of everything to stay up to date. From film announcements to scandals and hard news angles, she has explored it all. A good book, a comforting cup of hot chocolate, puppy kisses and a stunning beach view are all she needs to unwind. Her passion for biking and travelling has taken her to various places across the country. She has found peace in everything from the frozen lakes of Gangtok to the coffee plantations of Coorg and the dense forests of Bandipur, to the monasteries of Darjeeling. But no matter where she goes, Neeshita loves coming across inspiring and moving stories.Read More
