This Bois Locker Room disaster has shone a light on this ongoing rampant misogyny and rape culture in India. Targeting such young girls and speaking about them in such a disgusting/dehumanizing way. We need our MEN (esp actors/politicians.) to step in against this violence NOW.

The work and endangerment of whistleblowing and speaking out must not just fall on the women, as usual. This rot of patriarchy has to be cleared from the inside. We need men to infiltrate the system in ways we can’t, alone, from the outside. Think of the women you love/respect.

Whereas, the official Me Too movement social media handle has also shared their thoughts on the incident.
Various social media users are calling these school going kids out for their actions. While some internet users are also sharing that the boys have the audacity to act like this and defame women. it is rather also evident that the students who were a part of this Instagram group do not feel any remorse as they quickly came with fake accounts and shared unsolicited photos of women.
Thread: Students who are 16, 17 years old, are casually talking of gang raping girls and women, swapping nudes without the consent of these women on Reddit, with not even a hint of fear of exposure. The dire crisis of rape womxn face, starts with this rape culture #boyslockerroom
