On the Sexualization of Young Girls

[DutchLiberal]

32. The "slut dance" is problematic for more than one reason.

The first, obvious one, is the sexualization of pre-pubescent children. But also, the furthering of the idea that a girl/woman who behaves or dresses provocatively should be labeled a "slut". It's sad that even nowadays, boys and girls still are being judged differently for the same behavior/attitude. But unlike some people, I would not advocate fixing this problem by arguing girls should 'tone it down' or behave/dress more modestly so as to avoid a stigma. That would be caving in to outdated ideas.
