ive thought about this long ago. It has to do with the internet becoming majority use for social media.

Before social media a woman would get her praise and affirmation from her local community, people in her city/area, people she went to school with, whatever.

With the takeover of the internet by social media women can cast their net near globally, with the only barrier being language. A woman, if she chooses, can get praise and confirmation from thousands of men online, if not millions, also fueled with the rampant non-human social media activity. All of it fuels even a 4/10 womans ego such that she thinks much higher of herself than she normally would. The internet eschews reality, and the more one uses it the more distorted your grasp on reality is.

This is also why troons live most of their lives online and not IRL.
