She called her out for ‘brainwashing’ women into being subjugated, saying, “So yes, when men say, my eyes, my right, and if there are women who…I love Sunitha garu, I have a lot of respect for her as a singer. But with all due respect, when ladies speak for the side of men, it actually damages and makes spaces more unsafe for women.”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.Asks police to take action on man joking about acid attacksOn X (formerly Twitter), Chinmayi posted screengrabs of a man seemingly making a joke about acid attacks, mirroring Sunitha’s statement. “@hydcitypolice This man left a comment of ‘my acid my right’ to another girl whose comment he didn’t like. Requesting your esteemed selves to take appropriate action. Even speaking on social media cannot come with a threat of acid attacks on girls. This account is on Instagram,” she wrote. The screengrab shows one Instagram account commenting, “My cooker my rights….” seemingly referencing the 2025 case where a former army man allegedly dismembered his wife’s body and boiled the remains in a pressure cooker. The man Chinmayi called out wrote in response, “My acid my choice (skull emoji).” As the police has yet to respond, many X users left comments like, “They will absolutely do nothing about it,” and “Saddened but not surprised.”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.
