Thigh slapping is a macho gesture that symbolises audacity and disobedience, much as twisting one's moustache. Of course, because they lack moustaches, women are unable to twirl theirs. However, a lady slapping her thigh is not the same as a male doing the same. The indian community views it as either cultureless or degrading. Many groups in society view this behaviour as having a sexual connotation. "It is incorrect to interpret a woman slapping her thigh in public as an invitation to a fight. Nowadays, it is repulsive to witness ladies smacking their thighs in public ", said a vijayawada resident.

A woman in Mahanadu is rumoured to have gained popularity by smacking her thigh on the dais. Similar to this, yesterday, images of a female amaravathi activist smacking her thigh went viral. "Why only the tdp women slap their thighs is beyond me. No Veera Mahila from janasena that I saw ever did that. Additionally, I saw neither bjp supporters or YSRCP supporters engaging in similar behaviour ", stated a Guntur-based Janasainik. The state's educated populace and many journalists claim that it is shameful to witness ladies smacking their thighs in public.

Some regrettably worry that this may harm the reputation of the telugu population in general and Andhra culture in particular in the nearby telugu state. "NTR, who started the tdp, boosted telugu pride and the pride of telugu women. But these female thigh-slapping incidents are embarrassing the current tdp leadership and supporters ", says an elderly person. After all is said and done, many claim that women who hope to one day be in the spotlight slap their thighs during political events.
