Yesterday the news about Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s remark about being scared that women drink beer emerged. Although Parrikar made several attempts to not sound patriarchal but failed every time. His remark has come back to bite him in the funniest way possible with the #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer.
Women on the internet have decided to make Parrikar’s fear worse by posting pictures of themselves drinking beer. Female Twitteratis are speaking out and refuse to shy away like we were forced to in the past. Now women are ready for the battle against this patriarchal society and it comes in the form of empowering women with beer mugs in their hands.
A look at the funniest tweets put up by some of these amazing women:
To Sir, With Love.
Cheers from Goa, Mr Parrikar! #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer
