This is the result of the values espoused by the Mark Bilbo's of this
world; they have no respect for women.

Girls taught to value sex over achievement and intelligence

This isn't taught, it's part of their Nature and instinctual.

MALCOLM LAW
TEENAGE girls would rather be sexy than clever, according to a new book
which blames celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera and
Britney Spears for the phenomenon.

Carol Platt Liebau, a leading political commentator in the US and the
first female managing editor of Harvard Law Review, warned young women
were being taught to believe "sexy" equates to empowered.

The author said "promiscuity and sexual aggression" were now being seen
as the only way to achieve admiration. And she suggested girls now
competed for attention based on how much they were sexually willing to do
for boys.

Women's groups last night also warned that the sexualisation of young
girls was making them increasingly vulnerable.

Ms Liebau's book, Prude: How The Sex- Obsessed Culture Damages Girls,
blames the music and videos of Spears, Aguilera and Lil' Kim, as well as
films such as Cruel Intentions, for making teenagers value sexuality
above all else.

She said: "The overwhelming lesson teenagers are now learning from the
world around them is that being 'sexy' is the ultimate accolade, trumping
intelligence, character and all other accomplishments. In a culture that
celebrates Paris Hilton [and] thong underwear, there's scant modesty or
achievement that isn't coupled with sex appeal. Girls are being led to
believe that they're in control when it comes to sexual relationships.

"But they're actually living in a profoundly anti-feminist landscape
where girls compete for attention on the basis of how much they are
sexually willing to do for the boys. And living in an overly sexualised
culture takes a toll on girls."

A spokeswoman for Rape Crisis Scotland said the sale of products such as
junior pole-dancing kits was particularly concerning.

She said: "We are concerned about the over-sexualisation of children and
the effect it has on women and girls' self-esteem. Young women do
experience a lot of pressure to have sex."

A spokeswoman for Scottish Women Against Pornography said: "It's setting
young women and girls up as targets. It's a backlash to any sense of
women's achievement. The idea that this is sexual liberation is just
re-branding the same oppression."

Phillip Hodson, a fellow of the British Association for Counselling and
Psychotherapy in London, said the influence of TV, the media and
Hollywood had made society more focused on personal appearance.

But he added: "I think the problem is exaggerated. Nature wishes you to
breed, so sexuality has always been there. What's wrong with being
intelligent and taking care of yourself? But if you are just trading on
your sexuality, the big question is what are you going to do when you
lose your looks?"

. Prude: How The Sex-Obsessed Culture Damages Girls is released later
this month.

PARIS HILTON: ONLINE NOTORIETY AND A JAIL TERM
PARIS Hilton shot to fame when her home-made sex video appeared on the
internet.
The hotel dynasty heiress has since fronted various TV shows. She was
jailed earlier this year for driving under the influence of alcohol. She
has also feuded publicly with the actress Lindsay Lohan.

BRITNEY'S CONTROVERSIAL KISS-OFF
BRITNEY Spears, whose first taste of the limelight came on the wholesome
Mickey Mouse Club, has never been far from controversy in recent years.
She locked lips with Madonna at an awards show in 2003 and was snapped
without any pants on before losing custody of her two children earlier
this year.
AGUILERA'S DIRRTY MOVE
CHRISTINA Aguilera's "girl next door" image vanished as she was
transformed into a raunchy singer in the video for the 2002 hit single
Dirrty.
She has been hailed for "making pregnancy sexy" after posing with her
naked bump for a magazine.

LIL' KIM: X-RATED LYRICS, OUTRAGEOUS OUTFITS
LIL' Kim is best known in the UK for performing on the Moulin Rouge
soundtrack hit Lady Marmalade in 2001 alongside Christina Aguilera.
Her songs have achieved notoriety for their X-rated and sexually upfront
lyrics and her outrageous outfits have raised eyebrows.

"The notion that a radical is one who hates his country
is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one
who likes his country more than the rest of us, and
is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees
it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime;
he is a good citizen driven to despair."
