FEMALES ARE NOT AN OBJECT
Unfortunately, there is no single answer to that question. However, when women and girls are repeatedly objectified and their bodies hypers*xualized, the media contributes to harmful gender stereotypes that often trivialize violence against girls.
A report by the American Psychological Association (APA) on the s*xualization of girls in the media found that girls are depicted in a s*xual manner more often than boys; dressed in revealing clothing, and with bodily postures or facial expressions that imply s*xual readiness. In a study of print media, researchers at Wesleyan University found that on average, across 58 different magazines, 51.8 percent of advertisements that featured women portrayed them as s*x objects. However, when women appeared in advertisements in men’s magazines, they were objectified 76 percent of the time.
Social media has "amplified age-old pressures for teenage girls to conform to certain s*xualized narratives," according to a study published by The American Journal of Psychiatry. The study examined the s*xting habits of teens and found that between 10 percent and 25 percent of adolescents surveyed had sent s*xts — photos or texts of a s*xual nature — and 15 percent to 35 percent had received s*xts.
