Tiny Love Stories: ‘Sex Is Just Sex'
Souls on Social Media
A 21-year-old man posted on social media: 'Men have souls. Women don't. Do you understand?' I didn't, and I expressed my disagreement gently. In messages, he revealed his handle was a pseudonym. After a bad breakup, he'd allied with misogynists on the site; anonymity made that easy. We shared stories from our lives. The unexpectedly warm exchange, he said, was jolting him back into himself. He wanted to leave the social platform and heal. Days later, his account was gone. Now I wonder: How are you, kid? Do you think about my soul, as I think about yours? — Pamela Rafalow Grossman
