In today’s modern times, while we enjoy advancements in technology and lifestyle, modern thinking often lags behind. Misogyny still thrives, and some even flaunt it without hesitation. Recently, a man posted a blatantly misogynistic comment on the social media platform X, sparking outrage. Singer Chinmayi Sripada called him out by sharing a screenshot of his post and delivering a befitting reply. Her response has since gone viral.
A man took to X and flaunted his misogyny with a controversial New Year tweet
On January 1, a tweet by a user named Venom on X (formerly known as Twitter) stirred widespread reaction for its blatant misogyny. The controversy began when Blinkit’s CEO shared an interesting statistic, revealing that 1.2 lakh packets of condoms were delivered across India on New Year’s Eve.

Instead of seeing this as a sign of awareness or responsibility, Venom turned it into an opportunity to showcase his regressive mindset. His post 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.”
The sentence that ignited everyone alike was his conclusionary remark that read,
“Good luck finding a virgin girl to marry in this generation.”
His comment implied a deeply outdated and sexist view, equating a woman’s worth to her virginity while ignoring that sexual health and personal choices are private matters.
By framing the discussion in this way, he not only flaunted his misogyny but also revealed a mindset that seeks to shame women.

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.
