RE: Thinking about if there's any link between unequal pay and the rise of vulgar content in social media.

Yes, I totally agree with you. Vulgar is subjective.

If they feel pressured into doing things they wouldn't otherwise want to do in order to get followers, then I feel like that's sad and speaks to how society treats women.

This is what I intended to say.
You have discussed the thing from a different angle where my point was only social media specific. We understand what's going on outside the line of social media. There are many factors that influences people to behave like that. Another thing I need to make clear that this is not a gender specific thing. But when it comes to women, maybe it's related to our pay system.
Anyway, I agree with your points. Thanks for sharing your broad analysis. I enjoyed reading it.
