We should not allow young teen girls to be sexualized because they are often the victims of sexual abuse by older men. Alllowing the mainstreaming of such ideas does nothing but harm. Vanessa Hudgins and Miley star in shows promoted by Disney which is mainly aimed at kids and young teens. Promoting underage sex to this same audience should raise an outcry. As for Lindsay Lohan there was no public outcry, just pity that once again a Hollywood female must undress to be taken seriously. It seems every female who has won an oscar in the last 30 years had to show their boobs on film before they could. Men are not urged to bare their penis on camera though. Women are also too often cast as gorgeous rape victims, prostitutes, battered wives, sex slaves, etc.. While men are hardly ever placed in such roles but rather in the roles of batterers, abusers and saviours. The Dakota Fanning incident was disgusting. The scene could have been inferred but was filmed for shock effect to boost the notariety of the film and the star. Happily, it backfired. The rape of a child, fictional or real, is not entertainment. Sorry, but there is no comparison here.
