Actually, she spends a large portion of her day in media of various types, including what is technically social media.

She's just very selective about who she interacts with, diligent about pruning her feeds, how much she let's weird ideas take root. She doesn't just sit and passively absorb content in a quasi-hypnotic stste because she can't stand her own company, like most people. She talks them out with me or other friends and familyt and thinks them through critically, sometimes over vast stretches of time.

You're thinking about this backwards.

You think she's okay with herself because she stays off social media. That's the patriarchal pushed mainstream narrative.

It's incorrect.

The fact is, she can handle social media because SHE ALREADY IS okay with herself. She was never trained to believe there's something wrong with her. Or that she has to be this, that, and the third to be acceptable. Or that she owes society any sort of value or that she has to prove her worth. She knows she was wanted and that she is loved for who she is, not what she provides or how she performs to someone else's expectations.

Her personhood wasn't stripped down and destroyed in order for her to be made a woman in order to prop up civilization and capitalism.

She was allowed to grow into the woman she was naturally meant to be. And now she's cherished for it.
