Instead of advancing women's social and
professional empowerment, popular culture
trends appear to be backsliding into the blatant
sexual exploitation of women and girls at younger and
younger ages. This study investigates the effects of mass
marketed sexual ¡mages and cultural trends on the
attitudes of young girls and describes many ways in
which girls are increasingly taught to go to outrageous
lengths in seeking male attention.
Topics include the powerful effects of cultural
phenomena such as revealing fashions, plastic surgery,
and beauty pageants in influencing teen and preteen
girls to promote their own sexualization; sexual
representations of females in the mass entertainment
media; the mainstreaming of sexually explicit talk and
behavior; and the ways in which these trends promote
and reinforce young girls' insecurities. |
