"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.

@zigg @nolan

It's not like we teach people how to create and maintain social relationships. We just assume kids will figure it out on their own. That's great for the kids who do, but not so great for the kids who could use some help.
