Being a woman on the internet is not easy at all. From strangers texting “wanna fraandship” to creeps blatantly demanding “boob pics” or “nudessss”, it really is quite exhausting. And sometimes even scary.
So, what do you girls do when faced with a similar situation? Do you ignore the text? Delete it? Block the creep? Report him? Or are you one of those who like to get creative and send noods (photos of noodles) and the loading GIF?
Playback singer Chinmayi Sripaada who has lent her voice for many Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi film songs dealt with the situation with sass and wit. She shared a screenshot of a netizen asking for nudes on her Twitter handle.

And here is her perfect reply! She sent him photos of the only nudes that matter – nude lipsticks!
Everyone loved the way the singer handled the situation and shut down the creep. Her tweet has amassed many likes and retweets since she first posted it 2 days ago. This idea should be used by every woman at least once, don’t you think?
Here is how the internet applauded Chinmayi’s epic reply.
The kind of reply every girl needs to give to every creep. Kill it with sarcasm. It is the new trend. https://t.co/MaAl1wGewq

Such a shamful act. It really saddens me to see how someone can be so characterless and even dare to ask such thing.
You have handled it very well..!! Be bold as always 👏🏻👏🏻— Ashok Thangavelu (@AshokT_17) May 21, 2019

Hopefully, there will come a time when people realise that “send nudes” is not an appropriate way to initiate a conversation with a complete stranger. Or is that just a pipe dream? Tell us what you think.
