Her parents’ believed that they had found her the perfect match.

Lakshmi and Kavita Krishnan
The Internet has often proved to be a hiding place for misogynists and cowards. When Kavitha Krishnan, member of the CPI (ML) politburo had voiced her opinion about a controversial JNU dossier on the students’ ” sex and alcohol life”,  a user GM Das, replied in the crudest of manner asking if her mother/daughter had free sex. Kavita replied with a curt- “Er, yes, my mother did. Hopefully so did yours. Because if the woman is not free, it is not sex but rape. Get it.â€_x009d_. But the backlash didn’t end here. Kavitha’s mother, Lakshmi Krishnan had the final laugh when she retorted with “Hi GM Das! I am Kavita’s mother. Of course I had free sex. I should jolly well hope so! As and when I wanted, with the person I wanted. And I fight for every woman and man to have sex according to their consent. Never unfree, never forced”. Take it back, trollers!
