So suppose you have boys trying to evaluate themselves.

Where am I among the other 15 boys in my class?

And there are lots of ways that I could be cool or not.

There are lots of different sports that maybe I could be good on.

And so I'm not automatically condemned to the basement here forever.

And then you put them in a world in which there are all these signals and it's overwhelmingly based on your looks.

Now, that was always that was long been true for girls.

So it's horrible for girls.

But now it's becoming the case for boys because you don't even get to show off your athletic prowess.

It's how do you look?

Do you look masculine, tough, dominant?

You know, it's like you were happily enjoying childhood.

Now you're thrown into this seething cauldron of middle school and suddenly renegotiating this.

And you're looking for guidance to where?

To your parents?

To the people in your community?

No.

To the streamers and social media people who are the most extreme, who have been able to garner the most likes.

So it's sick.

It's cruel.
