We have instead the Based British Women - Nina Power, Mary Harrington and Louise Perry, now joined by Freya India, the fourth musketeer or whatever the modern female equivalent is.
The interview is probably the best I've ever seen on the Internet. Given that I'm a 70+ year old boomer, it's wonderful to hear two young people talking such good sense that I couldn't disagree with a word of it (and you know how picky we old 'uns are!)
I'm having to watch the interview in short spurts because there is so much to take in. I want my two sons, aged 19 & 21, to understand the issues girls are dealing with because it affects them too. The point about online *being* the access point to real life for many young girls was a lightbulb moment. There will be many more as I continue watching, I am certain. Keep up the great work, Freya!
Loved this episode with Chris, as someone left leaning, it’s grey to hear these conversations happening. As a yoga and movement and breathing therapist, I feel physiology is an underrated part of psychology and stress and mental health
I would guess the suffering at least be somewhat attributable to being educated exclusively with lies, being poisoned tagged and tracked everyday since birth, and now gen z has got all the neuro hacking. So I mean until we are ready to actually address any true information publicly it will obviously continue to worsen. Any sort of thinking disorder or more appropriately described any installed mental disorder, is only secondary.
Listened to this episode and sending love from Australia 🦘🌏. I am also on the older side of gen z and the points hit home. Deleted social media in January and never regretted it. Our gen is too online and im slowly extracting myself from that world. I'm encouraging friends to do the same. Internet brings out the division in us and in person I think we all realize we have a lot more in common than we think ☺️
Thanks Freya, really enjoyed your interview. I hope the pendulum is starting to swing back with this stuff, Haidt's new book next week will generate more thought and coverage too. Your signing off with "I don't have other social media because it's awful" was solid gold.
I am a 60 something, dating for the first time in 40 years. The use of text/phones to maintain a relationship has been doing my head in in a way I never thought possible. The anxiety!!! And I am sane and balanced. Put a 16 year old girl in my place, with an equally immature and careless male interlocutor. The result is meltdown. It really isn't rocket science/ brain surgery.
Thank you so much for this - as a mental health professional, working primarily with teenagers, I see what you describe on a daily basis and your analysis is spot on. Unfortunately, there aren't many of us in this line of work who think like that - and that is a major part of the problem.
Freya you’re my female Jordan Peterson lol

You are the role models your generation needs.
A female Jordan Peterson… need to ponder this one.

Look at you Freya, killing it so happy for you.
Excellent interview. I shared it with numerous people. 🙏
Fascinating talk, you’re a natural podcaster

I though you were good, I did not realise that young women were as messed up as young men.
