I am surprised how common it is for younger women and teenagers to receive requests for gifting and get sexualized comments which this article mentions. I don't see a lot of people talking about it but I think it would really warp someone's mind to be under 18 and be receiving requests for foot pics, "spoiling", and more. I've wanted to put this out there for a long time but felt like no one wanted to talk about it.
I'm a woman who grew up pre-internet. I started getting catcalled on the street around 12 (and I always looked many years younger than I was). From 12 to around 30 (when I got fat) I wasn't able to leave the house without being harassed on the street.
This is just a new medium for a very old behavior.
I can imagine it would completely warp your idea of men especially if you were young and not able to put it into perspective (even very old people can’t do this). That could have a serious impact on your life.
