Vaishnavi Sundar  is a self-taught filmmaker, writer, and grassroots activist. She is from Chennai, the south of India. Her last film "But what was she wearing?" gave her the title of " canceled feminist." Even though that is India's only film on the topic that covered voices from women across caste, class, region and religious differences, it was cancelled on the basis of Vaishnavi's political opinion that men shouldn't be in women's sex segregated safe spaces. When she is not filming or writing scathing rebuttals to liberal feminist drivel, she is busy logging all things WTF on her new VLOG channel on youtube.
