இப்படி ட்வீட் பண்ணுனா பெரிய்ய ஆம்பளன்னு நெனப்பு போல. சோஷியல் மீடியால பதிவு பண்றேன் பெருவாழ்வேன்னு வற்ற முக்காவாசி ஆண்கள் இந்த லட்சனம் தான். சுட்டிகாட்டினா மட்டும் பொத்துக்குட்டு கோவம் வரும். எவனெல்லாம் ஏன் கரோனா தூக்கல? https://t.co/rS2Y7im7S0

She continued to slam him with her tweets.

The fact that Twitter allows such verbal assault day in and day out in the name of freedom of speech is appalling. Such abuse is not a big deal for men but a rape threat has a real life meaning to women – this is something most men don't understand.
