Ep#72 - The Battle for our Children (Part 3)

This is Part 3 of our “The Battle for Our Children” series — The Battle for Our Girls.Our daughters are growing up in a world we never had to face. In this episode of You Are The Man Podcast, we sit down for a father-led discussion on the hidden ways social media is shaping our girls’ identity, friendships, mental health, purity, and sense of worth.Based on key points from The Anxious Generation, we unpack why social media appears to harm girls more deeply than boys—through constant comparison, perfectionism, relational aggression, emotional contagion, loneliness, sexual pressure, and online predation.This is not just a conversation about screen time. This is a conversation about formation.Social media promises connection, but too often delivers comparison. It offers belonging, but leaves many girls more anxious, isolated, and insecure. And as fathers, we cannot afford to be passive while algorithms, influencers, strangers, and culture compete for the hearts of our daughters.
