And you have to really sit and think, how do I actually feel after these things?

Like, if you Facetune yourself and post it on Instagram and you feel embarrassed or anxious,

that is worth paying attention to.

If you feel ashamed after watching porn, that's worth paying attention to.

If you feel alone after chatting with an AI bot, that's worth listening to.

I think it's actually, people say that young women are too in their feelings, but I think we actually need to connect with how we're actually feeling and not being told we should feel.

The other thing is not to treat other people like products or to notice when you are doing that.

and the risk aversion as well, being comfortable with the human consequences of having a relationship, the imperfections that come with that.

And I think the main thing for me is thinking about the next generation of girls, or if I had a daughter, would I be happy with her doing these things?

So if I find it horrifying to think of a future daughter

facetuning her prepubescent body or, you know, objectifying herself for strange men on Instagram or being convinced by TikTok strangers that she's mentally ill, then I don't want it for me.

And I think that's, for women my age, that's a message that might resonate more now.

I think mostly the conversations people are having are very different.

So something like sharing your children online.

It used to be really hard to communicate to people why you shouldn't do that.

And I think there's much more a reflexive sort of aversion to that now that that's not something you should be doing.

So obviously you have influencers doing it a lot, but I think of like my mum or my generation's parents, we would have like entire childhood albums uploaded to Facebook, like everything.

All the holiday pictures would be on Facebook.

And I don't think that's happening as much anymore.

I think that's something very unique to the early 2010s when we didn't really know what to do with this technology and we just put everything on it.
