Here's an interesting article" "...Pornography Becomes Pervasive," . It's about how pornography is now just a "normal" part of society- no longer something hidden. Is pornography actually becoming the new standard of sexuality?
I know I'm not the only one who's noticed the trend toward younger and younger girls wanting to dress, quite frankly, like mini-skanks; stores like La Senza Girl aren't helping to discourage the trend at all. Even the dolls girls play with are getting sluttier- sorry, I'd say sexier, but I'm pretty sure there's a difference. Bratz dolls have disgusted me since they came out a few years ago, and even Barbie has upped the ante with "My Scene".
"I'm hotter!" "No, I'M hotter!"Yak.
I don't have a problem with mature, well-adjusted adults actin' all sexy-like. I just get really pissed off when little girls (and even teenagers who think they're mature and well-adjusted adults) get the idea that they need to be "sexy"... or skinny... or that they need to dress all skanky-like to be accepted. According to Parents magazine (June 2007), "a recent study from the American Psychological Association found that all these sexualized images of young women are seriously harmful to a girl's self-esteem and healthy development." Are we shocked? I didn't think so.
What about Groovy Girls? Are they still around? They still get cool clothes and chunky-funky shoes, but they're more cute than porn-tastic. I have one- she looks like me, but my boobs are actually bigger than hers- not something most of us can say about those little hosebags pictured up there. Not only that, but their creator(s) actually manages to spell it "Girls" and not "Girlz" or (horrors!) "Grrrrrrlz."
Childhood is not sexytime. That's all I'm sayin'.
