Ram Gopal Varma Gets Brutally Trolled For His Regressive Tweet On Women Buying Liquor

Women, just like men, drink.?

We can't believe that in 2020 this simple fact needs to be reiterated for filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who has posted a regressive tweet mocking women who were patiently standing in a line to buy liquor at a store.?

Why is it such a surprise to find women outside wine shops? It's comical how Ram Gopal Varma was shocked to see women buying alcohol but he's absolutely okay stating that drunk men perpetrate violence against women.?

Naturally, Ram Gopal Varma's sexist comments attracted massive outrage on social media and the director was brutally trolled for the same. Singer Sona Mohapatra also responded to his tweet by writing his comment "reeks of sexism".?

Several women have rightfully pointed out how one tweet by Ram Gopal Varma completely underplays the reality of domestic abuse that many women are victims of. The issue should be telling men to not get violent with women instead of asking women to not drink. Simple logic right?
