The Love Island Effect: Misogyny, Trolls, and Why Social Media Feels Like Sh*t for Women

from The Pelvic Freak Show · host Dr. Hannah Meyer, PT, DPT and Dr. Amanda Neri, PT, DPT

Let’s have a real talk this week, pelvic freaks. Everyone and their mom has been watching Love Island this summer. The drama? Unhinged. The toxicity? Off the charts. And our feeds? Absolutely flooded.But watching the way people talk about these reality TV stars online got us fired up. Why do people feel entitled to treat women like public property just because they’re on a screen? The hate, the trolling, the cruelty... it’s gotten out of control and it's way too normalized nowadays.In this episode, we unpack the way social media has become a breeding ground for misogyny, especially when it comes to cancel culture. Women get ripped apart for existing, while men glide by with barely a scratch. Why is it that women always take the hardest hits online?We talk about how this culture affects our own confidence, how we move through the world, and what it means to keep showing up in a space that doesn’t always feel safe.
