Yeah.

there's so much pressure on women to present as perfect, right?

And then get validated for it.

And especially you just said on social media, but you think back in the day,

Two magazines come out a month and it doesn't mean that there's not, you know, scrutinizing and comparing and everyone looking at it, but it's endless now.

It is 24-7.

All day.

The Photoshop's an airbrush and we're curating and we're carefully, you know, designing how we want people to think about us.

Can you talk a little bit to perfection and how so many women and girls feel like they need to reach this unattainable goal?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's intended to be an addiction.

No generation prior to this had...

four-year-olds being addicted to something, five-year-olds, six-year-olds, 10-year-olds.

We have addiction right now that we cannot stop.

Well, we have to start regulating also because I've interfaced with some young kids and I'll be like, why do you want to have this phone over this phone?

Or why do you not want to take your phone and put it away for a while?

And they're like, because if I don't see it, then I go to school tomorrow and

And I am the only person in the class that is not aware of what the entire rest of the class was talking about.

So then there's like a bullying element and there's an alienization that's happening where you're like, I don't want to be the only kid that's not clued in and tapped in.
