I wonder how much of girls/women not pursuing content creation might also have to do with women’s presence on social media being associated with “frivolous” things like fashion and beauty. There has to be an equal amount of interest between boys and girls, but when it comes to sending your child to a content creation camp, how many parents are refusing to send girls either out of protectiveness or to push them to something more “serious”?

Do we know there’s equal interest from boys and girls? I saw that 54% are interested but admittedly didn’t look further

Admittedly I don’t have stats to back it up, but anecdotally I’ve had an equal amount of girls and boys in my life express the desire to be a YouTuber/influencer

The hate against women online is insane—especially when it’s perpetuated by other women. I always think about snark pages, which are ALWAYS about women creators.
