Week 4-Response to Shawn

I completely understand what you're talking about. I was at dinner last night and saw a girl who was maybe 13 in the shortest, tightest shorts. It was more than I wanted to see, and I made a comment about it to my girlfriend. She went on to talk about how offensive it was. It was offensive to us who had to see it, to her mother who was with her and let her dress that way, to the girl who was basically exploiting herself, and to all women in general. It is because women are willing to dress like this, to let whatever media portrays this influence us that women continue to be shown as sex objects. If women protested and didn't wear the body-revealing clothes, the image wouldn't sell and the portrayal would change.
