I am not sure, and I didn’t mean to imply that is the cause. I don’t have a lot of male Chinese friend, so I don’t have any data in that department.

However, to be completely frank, I sometimes feel that now Chinese female are subject to much higher social expectation, which are likely to be reflect on social media, thus amplifying their anxiety.

But I certainly have plenty of female friends that doesn’t use rednote, and they are doing fine. (except one on twiter, and she also says that she is pretty anxious about it 🤣
