The uncovering of a private Instagram group styling itself ‗Bois Locker Room‘ featuring
students from some prominent South Delhi schools discussing their female classmates in
disturbingly violent ways including plans of sexual assault is a wakeup call for parents and
authorities. The group formed last month or so kicked up a social media storm when
screenshots surfaced. Police have questioned a 15 year old boy to identify other members.
Similar incidents involving minors discussing rape/ gang rape of classmates have been
reported on other digital platforms like Whats-App too, across cities. The exchanges in the
now deleted group require precise responses from police, parents and school authorities
around whom the fates of the juveniles involved now revolve. It is important to recognise
where a teenager spouting objectification of his female counterparts is coming from. People
of all ages, not just children, are retreating deeper into the recesses of their online avatars
during this lockdown. But the heavy technological investment in children‘s education,
including flooding them with personal smartphones, has not been matched by serious
conversations centred on responsible internet usage and equality. Young, impressionable
minds absorb the normalisation of rape from the adults around them. When what they see,
read and hear is toxic masculinity, that is what they perform. That‘s what peer pressure
becomes about. But if this youthful role play of macho dominance receives timely
counselling, it can prevent far graver adult offences. Schools and parents have a critical role
to play in educating children on gender equality. Digital platforms which claim to have zero
tolerance towards content that violates community standards must also explain why such
abuses go undetected, despite boasts about Artificial Intelligence-driven technologies to stop
them. They should play a more proactive role in stopping the sexual harassment of real
people in the guise of virtual sport.
