You are. Two things:

1. How is spending (not burning) an evening in front of the console any worse than spending it in front of the TV?

2. You're painting with a really, really broad brush there. Some grown men play a lot of video games, and some women post a lot on social media, but not all of them do, and in any case, I'm not entirely sure what the problem with socializing online is.
