But they do treat the girls like they are applying for jobs as hookers. Karen, they don’t do that any more. But they do treat the girls like they are applying for jobs as hookers.

Like you, I wish it would just die, together with the ridiculous ubiquitous veline, and the cultural dominance of the old men who leer at them (and more.) The sad thing is that girls grow up watching these spectacles, believing it's all acceptable or normal or attractive, and then want to be just like those objectified (and degraded) women. I wonder if parents just accept it, or if they're fooled by it too. Or if they feel powerless in the face of it? (Well, I don't and will fight it with all I have to protect my daughter from it.) .-= KC´s last blog ..<a href="http://karenuccia.blogspot.com/2009/09/ask-art-historian.html" rel="nofollow">Ask the Art Historian</a> =-.

The vulgar dancing and strutting that they have girls doing on game shows and the like just astounds me, so I'm sure I would have been horrified at Miss America. Then you wonder why young girls feel like they ought to dress like prostitutes. That's all they see on TV. Whatever happened to good taste? .-= Mary´s last blog ..<a href="http://flavorsofabruzzo.com/2009/09/15/health/" rel="nofollow">Health</a> =-. I’m glad to say I missed it again this year.
