Let’s suppose you’re correct: teen girls are evolutionarily predisposed to be especially cutthroat.
Does this make it acceptable that a corporation like Facebook exploits this tendency for profit? Should we not recognize this vulnerability and protect our children against it?
- everdrive 5y agoI'm very opposed to Facebook and social media in general. I think social media is bad for almost everybody. (and certainly bad on the whole for any large cohort.) Even if teenage girls were not predisposed to this sort of behavior, Facebook would still be bad for them. It would simply be bad for them in the ways which it is bad for everyone else. Instead, it's bad for them in all the other ways it's bad for people, and additionally bad for them when it comes to these particular social behaviors.
- 9dev 5y agoI don’t think OP ever suggested this was acceptable? Can’t we discuss multiple facets of a piece of news individually, without everyone always having to condemn or support the overall premise of the article? I think the topic of young girls being predisposed to being mean is worth discussing on its own, no matter my opinion on it.
