So girls and women are much more sociable in their social cognition. Boys and men are literally a bit more autistic. That is literally the difference. Males are sort of shifted over a bit on the spectrum. Not that they're autistic, but like towards that. High systemizer, low empathizer, not as socially skilled. So social media offers to girls what everyone is saying about everyone.

And once the girls go in, they cannot leave. They're trapped. Because since that's where all the girls are, they're not in the hallway talking anymore. They're not going over to each other's house and talking anymore. Everything is happening on Instagram and a few other platforms. So the girls are trapped. And many girls are on there every waking moment. So that's how you trap a girl.

And then what are the effects of that? Well, the sheer waste of time, so many young women, that's basically all they do. If you're on social media five hours a day, which is the average, actually for girls it's a little higher than that, that's pretty much your life. And all the things that you and I remember from childhood, knock all those out.

Hanging out with friends, laughing with friends, reduce all that by 70, 80%. Being out in the sunshine, reduce it by reading books, having hot, everything. Everything in childhood, take out 70% or 80%. Oh, reduce your sleep, too. Lose about a half hour of sleep a night for your entire adolescence. So it just really does a number on girls. And that's not even talking about the predation.

There are so many men that want to have sex with young girls and young boys. And they used to have to go to a playground where they would be creepy men, and then we locked them up in the 90s. Well, we didn't lock them all up. They're not on the playgrounds anymore. They're on Instagram. They're on Snapchat. That's the way it's so easy to meet children anonymously.

Get them to send you a photograph showing their breasts or their penis, and then you've got them. Once you've got that photograph, you can blackmail them. You can force them to do sex acts on camera. So it's horrific what is happening. Snapchat gets 10,000 reports of sextortion. Not a year, a month, every month. 10,000 reports. And that's just what's reported to them.

So social media puts kids into contact with strange men around the world. It's insane that we let this happen.
