		<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[There is a trouble brewing in the UK over a major retailer, Primark, selling padded bikini tops for girls ages seven and up. Under pressure from politicians (it&#8217;s election time) and parenting site Mumsnet, the store has pulled the tops. Primark has agreed to give a children&#8217;s charity profits from the sales of the tops before they were yanked. I am opposed to products that are too sexy for young girls and I believe inappropriate media messages and marketing campaigns can be damaging to a young girl&#8217;s psyche, but something about the situation in the UK bothers me. Perhaps it&#8217;s the fact that someone, either associated with the product or with Primark, was quoted off-the-record explaining the padding was added so that the shape of a girl&#8217;s nipple didn’t show through the fabric of the top. Now that might just be damage control but it might also be a reasonable explanation. I can understand a preteen – and her mother- wanting some extra coverage at the beach. More likely, it’s the hints of victim blaming in some of the news stories. Several people are quoted referring to the top as the &#8220;paedo bikini.&#8221; Let&#8217;s be clear. Girls and their clothes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When &#8220;Phineas and Ferb&#8221; (rated TV-G) ended last night, The Disney Channel played a video of Selena Gomez, a Disney star from one of its shows, &#8220;The Wizards of Waverly Place.&#8221; She was singing &#8220;Naturally&#8221; from the &#8220;Kiss and Tell&#8221; album.  Gomez is 17 years old and she is beautiful. Two thoughts popped into my head while watching her, &#8220;I wish I could get my hair to look like that,&#8221; and, &#8220;Where did she get that awesome necklace?&#8221; My next thought was, &#8220;Oh crap, my five year old daughter is watching this.&#8221; She was staring at the screen, dancing along to Selena&#8217;s moves. Off went the television. Gomez wasn&#8217;t dressed provocatively and her moves and lyrics weren&#8217;t overt. But she was singing, &#8220;You have a way of moving me,&#8221; on Disney. And if this forty-something was coveting the pop star&#8217;s clothes, hair and accessories, then there&#8217;s a damn good chance my 5 year old was soaking it all up too. Disney&#8217;s airing the video after a show deemed appropriate for 5 year olds, reminded me how hyper-vigilant parents must be about the media and marketing messages our children are exposed too. So it was timely that later in the night, I [...]]]></description>
