Did the NYT really publish an Opinion speculating that young girls today are more depressed than ever because of _phones_?

In a world where they lost the right to control their own reproductive healthcare? Where states are pondering making them report their periods? In a world debating genital inspections to play school sports? While banning books? Where they practice school shooting drills? With climate change? Where sexual assault isn’t disqualifying for public office?

Sure, it’s the phones.

@goosname But you see, if they did not have access to the *phones* that give them information, they wouldn’t have to worry their pretty little future-housewife-and-baby-incubator heads about any of that silly stuff and they would automatically be happier to serve their husbands, as is their Christian-God-intended natural state.

(very, very sarcasm)

*vomits from the disgust at even writing that bullshit out*
