Some of the most heartening moments you experience on social media are when people are held accountable for making sexist statements. Then there was the time desis called out Bollywood for stereotyping various communities and professions.
Well, now it is YouTuber and social media influencer Ranveer Allahbadia (beer biceps) who has earned the ire of the public. It all began when he was fawning over this picture.

He then casually suggested how women should dress up to bring guys to their knees. However, his opinion that women should dress up a certain way for anyone but themselves didn’t go down well online.
Any girl becomes a 100x more attractive in a long kurti paired with those big earrings.
Life hack that brings all guys to their knees 🙏🏼

People strongly reacted to his recommendation of how ladies should dress to garner attention. Many suggested that this type of ‘locker-room talk’ is plain sexism and must end. Take a look at what people said-
Any man becomes 100x less attractive when they’re misogynists. smh

Thats coz it is the utmost feminine, pious image put in your head since you started watching bollywood. It doesn't mean she isn't going to be bossy, ambitious and self dependent.

Surely the guys listening to such things from you will be on their knees just coz of outer-appearance of a person rather than what goes inside.

Some pointed out other sexist tweets by women-
Not that he's sounding sensible but funnily I just saw a tweet by a girl which calls men wearing lungis as ugly. If that's her personal preference, so is this.
