The "Boys Locker Room" meme started on social media in May 2020, when screenshots of a group chat allegedly between teenage boys from a Delhi school went viral. The messages in the chat talked about sexual objectification of women and slut-shaming. The leaked screenshots sparked a debate on social media about rape culture, toxic masculinity, and the need for comprehensive sex education in schools.
Soon after, the meme began to be used as a metaphor to describe the toxic masculinity that exists in many patriarchal societies, where sexual harassment, objectification, and degradation of women are normalized among men.
The meme has been used on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, with users creating funny and satirical memes and videos to comment on issues concerning gender inequality and toxic masculinity.
However, the use of the meme also sparked criticism from some people, who felt that it trivialized the serious issue of sexual harassment and violence against women.
Overall, the "Boys Locker Room" meme has become a popular way for people to discuss and raise awareness about the wider societal issue of toxic masculinity.
