Something that's always plagued me about every unkind act I've ever experienced or witnessed is how the perpetrators manage to live with themselves. To this day, I regret and feel shame for various things I've done throughout my life.

Nowadays, social media and its deliberate, algorithmic boosting has so convinced young women that they're actual celebrities, or in some way, profoundly important, that the young man they'd have once met and loved is now a nobody with no "followers."
If that wasn't bad enough, the Internet then places the kind of expectations on young men that even wealthy adults struggle to maintain.
Our youth, like modern adults, are so far from comprehending the damaging fallacies of modernity that our girls are not only happy to become less and less traditional, but wantingly accept the many deliberate insentivisatons to do so.
