YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFreya Leach is joined by author and cultural commentator Freya India to discuss how girlhood and identity are shaped by a society that is driven to commodify them.
Freya India argues that social media has reduced young women to products — optimising their appearance, emotions, and relationships for an audience rather than recognising them as human beings. She warns that therapy culture has supplanted genuine connection with pathology and perfectionism, and urges parents to reclaim the space that influencers and corporations have filled before the next generation is shaped entirely by platforms with no stake in their flourishing.
Freya India is a writer whose work addresses the contradictions of growing up online, with a focus on identity, femininity, and cultural change. She is the author of Girls: Gen Zed and the Commodification of Everything, and writes regularly for her substack GIRLS, which has over 50,000 subscribers.
