"I tried leaving Facebook. I couldn’t" by Sarah Jeong https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/28/17293056/facebook-deletefacebook-social-network-monopoly
Great read, and this comment in a thread by her also hits home for me: https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/990974005162094599
@nolan What's interesting to me about the linked comment is not just the fact that women suffer from giving that emotional labor, but men are shortchanged by having it done for them.
There's a crisis of men who can't maintain the social relationships they need to thrive in life, and toxic masculinity is part to blame--but being insulated from emotional labor and developing the emotional maturity needed to maintain friendships can't be helping.
