It used to be girls were taught/raised to have low self-esteem. Now it seems the world is conspiring to cause girls & young women to have no self-esteem. Girls and young women now are expected to embrace, enthusiastically participate in, celebrate and revel in their own degradation and disempowerment. And they are often the first ones to "call out," censure, shame and try to silence/censor anyone who points out what's happening and the tragic consequences of it. Especially if those doing the pointing out are older women, coz the prevailing ethos today isn't just thoroughly anti-female, it's also incredibly ageist against middle-aged & older women especially. And mothers, though that's the same as it ever was.

Hear ye, hear ye! The era of photoshop and filters is the most youth-centric ever and I don't see any respect for the elders, who have more experience and have learned how things turn out. Some are aruging the voting age should be lowered to 16. The human brain isn't fully developed until 25.

Wish I could like this comment a thousand times. The disempowerment is so cunningly hiding behind the "woke" veil that for many it is hard to distinguish what's actually progressive and what is truly regressive. The cult-like push for sex/porn-positivity and the simultaneously existing cancel culture are a match made in hell... A "movement" that essentially does nothing but make girls and women "want" to be kinky pornstars. If you disagree, you'll be shunned by the oh-so-accepting libfem crowd.

In years to come we'll see the true damage all of this will have caused. I hope at least some women will start opening their eyes before it's too late, and reject the pseudofeminism that libfems are touting.
