A good general rule of thumb is to take any original Philosophy Tube argument and assume it is wrong.

Her and her team’s research is poor, and often the “citations” she presents in her videos have a questionable relationship with the actual words she says while they appear on screen. She has a further tendency to misrepresent or “speculate” (always uncharitably, mind you) about the beliefs of those she disagrees with.

As with most socialists (and conservatives, for that matter), the only arguments that actually appeal to her are vibes and aesthetics, and the appearance of academic integrity and intellectualism is far more desireable than actual research—especially research that might suggest making gaudy online propaganda videos that tell teenagers their world is terrible might be a source of their misery.

Young women nowadays seem to feel more empowered about not engaging in casual sex that they don't want than previous generations. Is there evidence about how much the decline in sexual activity among heterosexuals is male choice vs female choice?
