I think you have a point. Though, as a woman, I can attest that misogyny and harrassment is a very common experience among girls and women, I think the amount of women speaking up against it online (which I ABSOLUTELY agree with, dont get me wrong) has been treated as an 'all ages' topic when it should be dulled down based on age. A 10 year old should be educated on her boundaries and stranger danger etc, but maybe not use words like 'you WILL be a rape statistic'. Does that make sense? I think with the internet- tiktok, ig, fb, reddit etc all being pretty straightforward on things like rape and sexual harrassment might be *scaring* younger girls into believing there is no escape.Cliche answer maybe but I really think this generation has been ruined by the internet. An entire generation growing up being babysat by the net, bombarded with ‘you need to look like this, this, this’, pornography where the girls all look unattainably good looking. It’s different to generations past who had magazines, tv, maybe a stolen few minutes in an Internet cafe - it’s inescapable. On top of other things like grooming which the internet has made easier too. I think it’s made an environment where vulnerable girls are so scared to grow up, to be ‘woman’ - or feel so inferior - that they go for ‘teet yeetage’ and retreat into the childlike rhetoric that womanhood is playing dress up.
Not at all to say it should not be talked about in real terms, but there is a reason we introduce concepts like death (say, a pet dying) to a 5 year old differently than a 15 year old. Some concepts are traumatizing to know they exist without a gentle introduction. With the internet, there is no gentleness. Only shocking extremes in order to be heard. You know what I am trying to say?
