There is a talk, again, about how social media, especially TikTok, harm young women [View all]

and again I wonder: it has been more than 50 years since women started taking their place in society, any occupation that they chose, financially independent to take bank loans, to purchase houses, anything.

Why, then, do they lack self esteem that they need those imaged on social media to measure their worth?

I don't have daughters but if I had, I would like to think that I would raise them to measure their worth by their personality, by their accomplishments, by their view of the world, by their friends, by caring about others, by contributing to make the world a better place, not by wanting an unrealistic image on social media.

What happened?
