Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram are criticized for propagating a distorted, overly optimistic narrative about women’s life timelines.

Women scrolling through this content are influenced by idealized images and stories of perpetual youth and limitless opportunities, which often bear little resemblance to reality.
