Young girls are sexualized in advertisements(Kilbourne). Not only are they sexualized in ads, they are also sexualized through beauty pageants, young models for big brands, and exposure to social media. Young girls in America are being sexualized every day, whether it be through the way they feel they have to dress, pictures they post, poses they strike, or actions they take just to get the attention and acceptance from others. After viewing reality tv, advertisements, and social media post, girls are seen to show themselves as strippers and other sexual jobs they and learn to sexualize themselves and see objectify themselves (Kilbourne). As a young girl grows up, she will begin to see these advertisements as more than just “pretty women”.
