Extreme brahminical patriarchy is displayed in this old photo, reflecting how Hindus have prevented women from equal rights. The man here is standing while restricting his partner to sitting. Can't a woman stand on her own? Hence proved, we've to dismantle brahminical patriarchy.
While above photo is from Telugu Brahmins. The next is from Kerala.

This time the Brahmin man was happily sitting while forcing women and girls to stand? Can't Brahmins let women sit? How long should this toxic patriarchy allowed?

I'm not against brahmins. I am Oxfrd liberal Dr. Trust me when I say Brahminical patriarchy is bad.

Look at this brahminical photo from 1930s. Do you see the subconscious message?

The photo says that women need to be protected. They have to sit within boundary of men. Cntd... Colorised photo of Brahmin family from 1930. Source: 9gag.co

Yes #SmashBrahmanicalPatriarchy and every other kind of patriarchy, misogyny & #sexism regardless of the caste, class, race or religion that habits it. And they all do. But this poster #JackDorsey held was interesting for a number of reasons which I will discuss in this thread.
2/ Firstly, the picture on this poster of a #Dalit woman, reinforces upper-caste, discriminatory, caste stereotypes that holds that the lower caste are dark skinned with Afroid hair & facial features. We all know this untrue. There is no way you can identify caste by color!
3/ In fact it is this kind of stereotype about what Dalit women look like and do, which Jack's poster reinforces, that Dalit women in India have been fighting. #jackinindia
