1. #NeerajChopra: The Poster Boy of Toxic Masculinity and Brahmanical Patriarchy

Though Indians are celebrating this deplorable development in #TokyoOlympics there is a flip side to India getting gold, especially in Javelin throw. This is how.

2. Firstly, to prize gold above other elements is Elementism. They are all just beautiful elements. To box them in better and worse, shiny and briny is the result of the Brahmanical patriarchy, that is the root of all evil in this world.

3. It is no wonder that India, a country which gave birth to Brahmanical patriarchy is also the country which prizes gold so much. Only the Middle Eastern countries achieve equality with gold as they also use the metal in toilets.

4. In sports though this zeal could not be seen for many decades but even this is changing now. The roots of Brahmanical patriarchy are now penetrating the already vitiated arena of sports which suffers from toxic masculinity already.

5. Just look at the bulging muscles, the wavy hair, the pumped up face, the sheer aggression in the eyes. Can we really guarantee that this man won't be oppressing women, gays and minorities with the same attitude which made him win gold in Olympics?

6. And what's all the ruckus about the javelin? It is a weapon! Aren't we celebrating violence by encouraging men full of toxic masculinity to throw pointy javelins (it is like male reproductive organ) at the submissive and passive grass? Isn't this just a long rape sequence?

7. I hope this madness ends and India stops winning medals in Olympics, for the sake of equality, peace and for the end of toxic masculinity and Brahmanical patriarchy.
