Summary
Young women and girls are growing up more depressed, anxious, lonely, and insecure than ever before. Writer, Freya India, seeks to explain why in her new book, "Girls: Generation Z and the Commodification of Everything," finding explanations in social media, porn, and lives lived online, filtered into oblivion. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Freya about how porn, apps like Snapchat, Facetune, dating apps, and therapy culture are making Gen Z girls neurotic, insecure, afraid of life, and disassociated.
