This weekend when Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about how India is taking rapid strides in development, of special note was the emphasis on moves such as appointment of women in military service (where they are now eligible for command posting), their induction as fighter pilots, and women being allowed to work in mines at night as well. While the strides in education cannot be overstated, womens entry into spheres long designated as too dangerous for them carries a distinct meaning and specific implications for the future.

These are in line with what European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde has said many times: If it had been Lehman Sisters rather than Lehman Brothers the world might well look a lot different today. This hypothesis was born in 2008 in the wake of the global financial crisis, where male domination of the banking industry led to reckless decision-making groupthink. Admittedly its not that there is some singular masculinity. Instead multiple competing masculinities exist shaped by class, culture and other factors. But that maleness is the no 1 risk factor for homicides across many countries, speaks to the undisputed reality of what a combination of nature and nurture has delivered. Introduction of diversity (with doses of estrogenal prudence) in decision-making is a logical way to mitigate testosterone linked aggressive, high risk behaviour and achieve better outcomes.

The thing about toxic masculinity is that, even disregarding its effects on others, it tends to create a very unhappy self. Boys dont cry is a statement of both social and individual sickness. Even if one cannot generalise the character of all women, there is a very powerful social case for dialling down the testosterone overdose with female participation and leadership.
