Holy shit, AnonymousBosch, that was brilliant.

Your closer, in particular, is prescient.

What influence does the internet have on a woman's need for drama? How does it risk fundamentally-changing them?

I mentioned long ago that I suspected the cultivation of social media likes from multiple men could provide so much more positive self-affirmation and ego boosting than a relationship with any one man could ever hope provide, and, as such, connected women eventually won't desire them.

But tonight, expanding on that thought, what if Millennial women have become damaged even further by connectivity?

What if one man can no longer provide their need for emotional drama either? What if women aren't going to be drawn to relationships because there's always a hysterical group of schoolyard girls screaming online, offering her a chance to join in and get a sweet, sweet spike of raw fury? To cry 'literal tears' and to share the outrage with everyone in her circle so everyone cries with her. Where women are screaming for the sake of screaming, of being outraged to be outraged, to become anger and fury and the community of voices making the drama so much more intense and every tiny imagined slight and offense into the goddamn end of the world until they have no emotional setting left but 'nuclear', because they're trained themselves out of realistic levels of emotion, the same way they seem to have no setting anymore between raging slut and outraged prude.

Then I noticed just how consistently ugly the screaming women always are, and could only come to the most likely conclusion: Social Justice isn't their cause: it's simply a boyfriend substitute.

Man, I'd better get some sleep.

I like to mock women that sit there on their phones and Facebook/swipe/attention whore at social events. Sometimes it stirs up conversation and gets them tingly. Other times, it doesn't. As of late, the younger girls (18-22) prefer the comfort of their FacePhones. Then, I realized, Facebook has been around a decade. These girls have likely spent a significant proportion of their puberty being hard wired into attention getting via social media.

The other realization then dawned on me about my generation (older, but still with internet access) having high speed internet porn access during puberty. There's been the whole NoFap (very minor) rebound from that phenomenon, where men realize how bad it has been to have been stimulated by digital screens for so long. It's way, way more obvious to the blue-pilled society because masturbation usually has ejacuation, usually makes a mess, and has always had a stigma against it until very recently.

But, look at these girls. They're being stimulated by digital screens during the major developmental period of their young adulthood, fixing behavior patterns on what stimulates them. The backlash against it will probably never be even as strong as the pathetic NoFap movement, because the effects are less obvious and clearly misogynist . But will there start to be a No-iWhore movement? Or NoSelfie, NoLikeWhore, NoSnapChat, I don't know, some kind of movement to help counteract this? How can it get kicked off?

Anyway, sorry for the derail. That was an interesting post.
