What about the boys?
> Girls in 2019 tend to be risk-averse, focused on their studies and fond of their families. They are also experiencing high levels of depression and loneliness. A 2019 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 36% of girls report being extremely anxious every day. They are particularly worried about school shootings, melting polar ice and their ability to afford college.
These don't seem like issues exclusive to teenage girls.
It seems like a valid and substantive comment that adds to the discussion to me.
I, too, would like to read about how young boys deal with modern life. But I would not expect to find such information in research with the stated goal of investigating how girls do the same.
Saying "group A experiences these problems" does not imply exclusivity or that group B experiences the opposite. It is merely a statement about group A.
"The Lonely Burden of Today’s Teenage Girls"
Girls. It says girls. Ctrl/Cmd-f "boy": 0 matches
It's an article about girls.
I’m not sure if you read the article but it’s exclusively talking about girls so why would you expect it to talk about boys?
Would you express similar concerns about an article like "Anxiety Looks Different in Men[0]?" Did you Ctrl-Cmd-f "girl" when you opened that article? Judging from your comments there, you took no issue with that article not discussing women.
>Anxiety problems can look different in men. When people think of anxiety, they may picture the excessive worry and avoidance of frightening situations that often plague those who suffer. These afflict men, too. But there’s a growing recognition among psychologists that men are more likely to complain of headaches, difficulty sleeping and muscle aches and pains. They are more likely to use alcohol and drugs to cope with anxiety, so what looks like a drinking problem may actually be an underlying anxiety disorder. And anxiety in men often manifests as anger and irritability.
This paragraph is also about women, even if they are not explicitly labeled.
>They (men) are more likely to use alcohol and drugs to cope with anxiety
Also means
>(Women) are less likely to use alcohol and drugs to cope with anxiety
You can use this for the rest of the article in order to determine how the author views anxiety in both genders. It's not an exclusionary discussion or analysis. You should be able to understand this from the title alone.
You picked a pretty bad example. Maybe you can find something better if you dig a bit deeper. I'm not entirely sure you wouldn't find something further back in my comment history :)
Still seems a bit pedantic and defensive, but ok.
>Maybe you can find something better if you dig a bit deeper. I'm not entirely sure you wouldn't find something further back in my comment history :)
Not worth the effort, I didn't need to look deeper to find your particular bias on this subject, but thanks for conceding my point.
