Its not just about social media, its about never being exposed to alternatives to begin with. If every woman in town is happy and coupled, then they don't get inside their own neurotic heads about doing X or Y and those possibly being better.
But if one woman alone isn't, then she will act as a constant temptation for all the rest to join her in rebellion. They might not blow up their lives to do so, but they will still become worse in huffy moods about not being allowed to do what she is doing and missing out. All without ever knowing how miserable that woman's personal life was, and only looking at her party hard lifestyle.
This problem predates social media, which has only made it 999x more widespread. Its why boomers created thousands of "traditions" that are actively draining on the rest of us as a society.
