Women’s Sexuality


The lecturer, Shannen Farell, from the Sonoma County Health Department, made a lot of good comments about women’s sexuality. Her main focus wasn’t really about women in general, I think. It was more focused one the younger teenagers and adults, middle school-aged girls, mostly.
One major topic was about the way these girls were dressing in school these days compared to in the past. These 12-13 year old girls make themselves look like they’re 18 with the revealing and provocative clothes they wear. I notice now when I pick up my brother and sister from their middle school, the girls look really smutty. I thought back to when I was in middle school. Everyone was pretty much covered up. Of course, I’m judging them and who knew, it shocked me to know these girls were giving oral sex, at that age? These kids are learning these way too fast. I barely even heard about kissing in my school, and this wasn’t too long ago.
Shannen also talked about how the media sexualizes women. Lately, and in the last couple of years, I think MTV especially, has sexualized us all. Everyone wants to be hot and sexy. MTV portrays a lot of sex and drugs in their videos. Kids should not be able to have access to these things. Even reality shows are showing people having sex(mainly college kids) What is that saying to kids about college? Children are also watching very adult sitcoms with a lot of sexually suggestive comments. I think everything on television these days have some kind of sex in them.
The adults need to wake up and start taking away these things from kids or at least limit or screen the content. They need to know what their kids are up to and that every little thing they see or hear is going to shape them....
