Sexualisation 'harms' young girls
Some computer games show sexualised images of girls
The media's portrayal of young women as sex objects harms girls' mental and physical health, US experts warn.
Magazines, television, video games and music videos all have a detrimental effect, a task force from the American Psychological Association reported.
Sexualisation can lead to a lack of confidence with their bodies as well as depression and eating disorders.
Such images also have a negative effect on healthy sexual development in girls, the researchers said.
The task force was set up after mounting "public concern" about the sexualisation of young girls.

These people have never been to Japan.
My fiance' joined me on my trip back home to the states last summer. She's Korean, but enjoys wearing Japanese-style clothes.
I got a chuckle when we went to a July 4th party. My friend pulled me aside, and gave me one of those, "people have been talking" looks. He looked worried, and asked, "How old is she?"
I broke out laughing. She was 32 at the time. |
