Sexologist John Money claimed he had discovered, through his "theory of gender neutrality," that gender was a complete social construct, created entirely through social learning.

In fact, the degree to which these ‘like’ rewarded responses are involved in social media use, and, potentially, social media addiction, could be profitably analysed further.

Social media use has been likened to substance addiction plenty of times, especially if the screen time interferes with daily life, performance at work or school and even mental health.

Learning is viewed as a social process, and other individuals, especially significant others, provide crucial examples, so the role model is a central concept in the theory.

Conservative activists who have battled schools across the country over issues of race and gender have a new target: social-emotional learning programs that until recently were uncontroversial.
