Harnaaz Sandhu has been making headlines and we all know why. The third Indian to win the Miss Universe title of 2021 since Sushmita Sen, Sandhu has brought the crown to the country after 21 years. With Sandhu바카라s win, the chorus around beauty pageants and stereotypes of 바카라beauty standard바카라 has once again begun. And with that, sexism has also managed to make its way into the event of a proud moment.

A Twitter user that goes by the name Lakshman, @rebel_notout, drew a parallel between Sandhu바카라s win and Olympian Neeraj Chopra and other male Olympians in a glaring sexist meme.

The meme featured Chopra holding his gold medal while Sandhu sported a red swimsuit. The obvious catch in the image was suggestive of Sandhu바카라s attire to be reducing her (a woman바카라s) value.

On Twitter, Lakshman wrote, 바카라How boys think they can make their country proud. How Girls think they can make their country proud (sic).바카라

The tweet immediately received immense backlash on social media with people pointing out how many feminine icons have represented India on the international sports platform and bagged medals.

바카라For your kind information let me give you some knowledge about indian girls who make india proud in 2nd and 3rd pic girls won in Olympics 3rd go space in 1997 her name is kalpana chawla Next time come up with homework before you say anything sh!t about girls! (sic),바카라 said one user.

Here바카라s how others pointed out the layers of sexism represented by the misogynistic meme.

The tweet once again highlights the disgrace and sexism meme games cause under the guise of 바카라fun바카라 and 바카라joke바카라.  Sexism is harmful and is at the root of gender inequality.  Memes, such as these, might seem benign but leads to a climate of gender inferiority. It바카라s the 21st century, yet we are still here pinning a woman바카라s worth to the attires they wear.
