		<description><![CDATA[A new report from the Parents Television Council (PTC), Tinseltown’s New Target: A study of Teen Female Sexualization on Primetime TV, shows a disturbingly high amount of sexualized image of teen girls on primetime television. The study follows PTC&#8217;s report from last November about the increase in incidences of violence against women on television. Teenage girls are becoming Hollywood&#8217;s sexualized ideal. Consider these findings from the study: &#8220;The presence of an underage female was associated with higher amounts of sexual depictions compared to the onscreen appearance of an adult female. Though an older female character is more likely to have sexual dialogue in the scene, a younger female character is more likely portrayed in sexual behaviors onscreen.&#8221; and &#8220;Only 5% of the underage female characters communicated any form of dislike for being sexualized.&#8221; The study defines sexualized as &#8220;the act or process of sexualizing,&#8221; meaning making the girl or act sexual in nature. The American Psychological Association (APA) regards a person as being sexualized if: their value comes only from their sexual appeal or sexual behavior they are sexually objectified or sexuality is inappropriately imposed upon them. PTC  identified the top 25 primetime shows for kids age 12-17, and viewed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To get your week started, here&#8217;s a quick roundup of news affecting women from around the world and the web. In Switzerland, the government has declared Roman Polanski a free man by stating they will not extradite him to the United States. He has reportedly been released from house arrest. Unless Polanski moves to another country that would extradite him, the case seems to be closed. Polanski fled the U.S. in 1978 following sentencing for what the media is calling &#8220;having sex with a 13 year old girl.&#8221; We call it rape. Speaking of Hollywood, Mel Gibson has been accused of domestic violence. While I doubt the economy has anything to do with Gibson&#8217;s charges, we are noticing an increase in domestic violence incidences reported in our local police logs. Studies show a correlation between economic stress and domestic violence. Get the facts on domestic violence &#8212; how to get help, warning signs, etc. &#8212; here. The women who work at &#8220;The Daily Show with Jon Stewart&#8221; have jumped to defend their workplace following allegations of a sexist culture from Jezebel. If I wanted to keep my job (speaking of the recession) I probably would have signed on to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the Hello Ladies guide to this summer&#8217;s most anticipated movies. From the previews, it is unlikely that many of them will pass the simple Bechdel Test. The Bechdel test has just three criteria. Does the movie: Have at least two women in it Who talk to each other About something besides a man? &#8220;Hot Tub Time Machine&#8221; is about four guys who party in a hot tub then wake up in 1986. Even though it stars my teenage crush John Cusack, I think I&#8217;ll pass. &#8220;Grown Ups&#8221; starring Adam Sandler is about five guys who bring their families together one summer. The movie&#8217;s tagline is &#8220;Boys will be boys&#8230; some longer than others.&#8221; Enough said. &#8220;Jonah Hex&#8221; stars Josh Brolin as a badly scarred bounty hunter chasing a terrorist and Megan Fox as a prostitute with a gun. Riveting. &#8220;The Twilight Saga: Eclipse&#8221; might pass the test even though its another installment in the story of Edward stalking Bella. I&#8217;ll take Buffy any day. &#8220;Knight and Day&#8221; stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz as a fugitive couple doing lots of stunts. It was filmed in Boston and for that reason alone I might go see it. &#8220;The Last Airbender&#8221; M. Night [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy 2010. We hope you had a fun holiday season. We did. So much fun in fact we are finding it hard to focus on the serious stuff today. So instead, we bring you news of what will surely be the next bestselling book. Next week Simon &#38; Schuster is releasing a biography on actor Warren Beatty. Titled, &#8220;Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America,&#8221; and written by Peter Biskind the book discusses Beatty&#8217;s influence and control in Hollywood, his political involvement, and his legendary love life. It is, of course, his love life, that is capturing headlines today. Apparently, the book claims that Beatty, star of &#8220;Splendor in the Grass&#8221; and &#8220;Dick Tracy&#8221; slept with 12,775 women. Although, according to a story in the New York Post, biographer Biskind says this number, &#8220;does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on.&#8221;  The Post reports that the biography is authorized. Beatty&#8217;s attorney, Hollywood heavyweight Bert Fields, says it is not. And Simon &#38; Schuster describes the book in this way, &#8220;In this compulsively readable and constantly surprising book, Peter Biskind, the author of the film classics Easy Riders, Raging Bulls and Down and Dirty Pictures, writes the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Turkeys, turkeys, turkeys. They were all over the news this holiday weekend. First, there was the report that famed film director/infamous rapist Roman Polanski would be released on $4.5 million bail and placed under house arrest to a 19,000 square foot luxury ski chalet in Gstaad. (Remind you of Bernie Madoff?) Several news reports cite French President Nicolas Sarkozy as having been &#8220;very effective&#8221; in arranging Polanski&#8217;s new deal. Sarkozy reportedly never believed Polanski, who is 76, should have been arrested for a crime he committed 32 years ago. Maybe not if the courts were just now getting around to trying him, but Polanski fled the system after being found guilty and before serving his time. What was most infuriating was the reporting by the Los Angeles Times, the AP and others who said Polanski had sex with a 13 year old. I understand Polanski pleaded guilty to this lesser charge, but the fact is he raped a girl. Sad that the media won&#8217;t just call the crime by its name. Next on the turkey list was ABC. The network was planning to have Chris Brown, the one who beat up Rhianna, on &#8220;Good Morning America.&#8221; Supposedly, Brown was to give [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to a recent report from the Parents Television Council, the incidence of violence against women on television (including an increase in female victimization as a punch line in a comedy series) is up significantly since 2004. (An incident is defined as a storyline that includes victims of violence.) Consider these statistics based on primetime television (excluding news and sports programs): *Violence on television in general is up 2% since 2004. *Yet violence on television against women is up 120% since 2004. *There was a 400% increase in the depiction of teen girls as victims from 2004 to 2009. *The most frequent type of violence on the screen was beating followed by credible threats, shooting, rape, stabbing and torture. Television is not reality. We get that. But when you consider the studies that show exposure to filmed violence against women leads to decreased perceptions of violence, you see just how damaging this sexist programming is. It desensitizes society to violence against women. That is irresponsible. The television industry is trading the value and the safety of women for ratings. What can you do? When you see gratuitous violence against women on television, or you notice a disproportionate number of storylines victimizing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following immediately on the heels of The Federal Trade Commission&#8217;s (FTC) new guidelines aimed at better transparency in the blogosphere, the government agency once again took steps to regulate full disclosure, this time from celebrities regarding the clothes they wear and the beauty products they use. The new guidelines, expected to be published later this week, will mandate that celebrities who dress for the red carpet, more accurately reflect results typical of the average American woman. It is common practice in Hollywood for fashion designers to give celebrities couture gowns to wear to awards ceremonies, movie premieres and parties. The commission has determined that the stars and the designers must disclose if the dresses were given to the celebrities for free and that the disclosure must be &#8220;clear and conspicuous.&#8221; They did not, however, specify how the disclosure should happen. One famous Hollywood stylist/reality television star said, &#8220;We will determine how to best to reveal that information on a case-by-case basis. If my client is wearing a classic dress &#8211;perhaps a Ralph Lauren &#8211;we may monogram the information onto the dress. After all, monograms are so preppy and 80s. And the 80s are back baby! If my client is wearing [...]]]></description>
