You wrote in a post about the Halbach's titled "No felony charges in prostitution case" this "I say let prostitutes prositute and "johns" do what they want to do. As long as it doesn't affect people outside of the building. It's their life, their morals, and possibly their afterlife they have to worry about."
I find your opinon below to be an interesting contradiction with what I quote from you here.

I am a guy and treat women with the utmost respect and always have, but yeah, I agree that many men treat women like objects. Just at work and around town you can see people in places and hear people and the way some guys treat women are insane. What's more insane is that the women take it. It's disquisting how teens are being brought up now. They are being brainwashed by the media that they have to be "hotter, sexier, and better" than everyone else and have to buy so and so product to do so. What are teens going to be like in 20 years? I don't even want to know. Probably porn stars their freshman year in high school. It's a disgrace.

unfortunatley, intrigued, as long as there are men on this planet, women will be sex objects. Sorry guys, but that is the way you are designed. It's a sad state of affairs when women buy it, though. I'd rather be alone than be with men who see me as an "object" rather than a human being with a brain.

Well duh! How is it that people actually buy Bratz toys for their children? Are they nuts? It's not just sexualization of children, it is the recurring sexualization of women. A few years ago I looked at the model on the cover of some women's magazine and lamented "Geez, if this is what normal women are supposed to wear what are the prostitutes wearing?" I thought we were beyond women as sex objects but it seems women have walked right back into that role and many seem to relish it. Whatever.

you are absolutely right justmythoughts! However, Paris Hilton has been very public about how she does not want to be a role model or be held accountable for being a role model. She just wants to be herself and not worry about who's kid is dressing like her or acting like her.

That is a sad statement, in that, I believe ALL people are called to be role models. We either become positive role models or negative role models.

But our girls deserve better. They deserve positive role models.

when you also look at the pictures of mylie cyrus, her dad is proudly sitting next to her in the same shoot where she was covered with the satin sheet, http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/featur...

In the article, she says Sex and the City is her favorite show.

Then people wonder why there are businesses in town like Screamin' Meemees...I don't think we need to re-hash all of those posts, but sexuality is supposed to be learned and experienced as adults. Yes, children have sexual feelings, but they need to be taught HOW to express them and WHEN...

Sexuality is healthy, perversion is not.

This "expert" is, in effect, telling Pandora to shut the lid.

Commend experts when they are correct and condemn them when they are complete idiots.

The one in the article is correct.
*
Shockingly, there are many "experts" in this field of study that are actual child abusers and molesters.
*

Some time ago, the experts said that society suffered from sexual repression. Then the experts said that it is healthy to bring sex out into the open. Then the experts said that anything done between consenting adults is healthy and natural. Then the experts said that children are sexual beings too. Then the experts said that we should not suppress our children's sexuality. Now the experts say children shouldn't be so sexualized and that companies, and not sex education or the "sexual revolution", is to blame. We should stop listening to experts.

Good comments so far.

I would like to add, that this kind of stuff tends to turn adults into perverts and child abusers because of said "desensitization".
*
However obvious these things may be, its always good to see an "expert" regularly acknowlege this phenomenon.

Sad, it takes an expert to tell us something we already knew.

Anderson sounds like she's been out of the loop lately. There's a book that's been out for years. It warned about stuff like this happing. It talks about how we should stay pure, holy, and flee youthful lusts. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. It talks about not lusting after the things of the flesh. In the book the author said "If you even look at a person and lust after them, you've committed adultery in your heart." Sounds pretty serious. There might be a reason this book says that. Read the article again if you want to know why the Bible says all this stuff. I know this is a resent study, but anyone who reads the Bible already knew this was happening. If only they would pay me to give the speech next year. I also could have saved them a lot of research money.

I agree, look at Mylie Cyrus (sp?). She's fifteen, posing, wearing all that make up like a cupie doll. Kids just can't be kids anymore....

Disgusting!
