In reply to the discussion: Must Read -the sexualisation of girls [View all]get the red out
(13,460 posts)11. It is a waste of time
I don't know what it actually gains a young girl to try to please men more than she tries to develop her own tastes in clothing or, God forbid, develop her intellect. I have no idea what that has to do with Government control, the government didn't run the modeling agency, and they were the ones telling these girls how extremely sexualized they needed to appear. It is simply healthier for a young person to develop their own tastes and interests than to be told their only purpose is to be a sex object.
