Sex and the Silly

Well, for starters you say that bare backs on women are attractive, but then you go on explaining that it looks like an innocent picture of a child wrapped in a towel after swimming. There is a little confusion. Either you picked up on the sensuality that the magazine and photographer were going for, or it is innocuous.What do I think? I think the portrayal was exactly what they were going for -- sensual. There is no doubt that is what they were going for. I think why it is controversial is because she is 15 years old.I believe in age appropriateness. Things like the Disney Channel, of all things, are moving further and further away from a demographic for young children and have begun advertising to the pubescent and pre-pubescent demographic.Personally I think Walt Disney is rolling in his grave for a number of reasons, this one included, and I think the junk they are putting out now on that channel is not good for young kids who don't need to be taught how to act. We can learn alot about sociology by studying television shows. One thing that stands out is that sassyness in the form of Alpha females is now considered normal female behavior, and dopey and dumb in submission to females is now considered normative masculine behavior.It's no wonder why young girls in particular now have serious self-esteem issues and are extremely self-conscious about body images. I think it is things like this that perpetuate this social phenomenon. At that age their hormones are already raging, and they are just trying to make sense of it. The teen years are a tough time, as it is the transition from child to adult, which without that critical bridge in between would be a gigantic chasm. The last thing they need is something else to cause them too excessively worry about. Edited by Nemesis Juggernaut, : No reason given.
