With popular children’s doll lines featuring sexy clothing and gossip magazines aimed at preteens, society is turning girls into sexual objects earlier and earlier.

This was the lament of a senior Catholic bishop, who said such premature sexualizing of girls at a tender age should be one of the most serious issues confronting Philippine society.

“The messages they receive through popular culture is that to be attractive, to be accepted by society, you have to dress and behave in a sexual manner. There are now lingerie clothing lines for preteen girls, and bras for girls under 10, T-shirts with sexual slogans, and even a pole dancing kit complete with a DVD that features ‘sexy dance tracks’ for 6-year-olds," Tagbilaran, Bohol archbishop Leonardo Medroso said in his web log medroso.blogspot.com.

Medroso noted that some popular lines of dolls for girls feature sexy clothing, while gossip magazines aimed at preteens encourage girls to behave in a “sexual manner."

Some of these magazines even feature sections devoted to “grooming and relationships even with older men," he said.

In many cases, he added, some mothers even dress up and apply makeup on their six-year-old daughters to make them look like “sexy and beautiful" young women just so they can win school beauty contests.

On the other hand, some advertising catalogues featured children “dressed up, made-up and posed in the same way that adults are," suggesting the children are “interested in, and perhaps open to, approaches for sex."

With such premature sexualizing, Medroso warned, “girls are being turned into sexual objects earlier and earlier."

“Yes, the attack against the dignity of women is persistent and relentless," he said.
Medroso said pornography remains one of the most devilish attacks on the dignity of women, a “pathetic result of man’s effort of splitting sexuality and love, which he has wittingly or unwittingly acquired along with his contraceptive mentality."

Worse, he said pornography is becoming more and more socially acceptable.

“What was considered pornographic years ago is now shown on billboards, rental movie cases, internets, etc. This trend has made it virtually impossible to avoid at least some exposure to some pornography," he said.

“Yes, the dignity of the woman has to be upheld. Its protection is the protection of the human race," he added.

well, part of our conservative culture has something to do with it.

A woman can be a sex object and still commands respect. A woman can be a sex object and yet puts any man under her skirt.

Even when you mean being sexually active is still a woman can be on top of man.this is not the issue.even when having sex, women should be bed partners and not sex objects.sex must be something special, not something cheap and loathful

to discuss about respect is not equivalent to discussing about women or girls taken as sex objects. respect is our inherent rights.we ought to be respected.no conditions. this is about the decency of sex. womanhood and being a female is not just about having a vagina and manhood or being male is not just about having a penis.being a human being is not just about creatures having sex.we are above that.because that is just about animals.and we are human beings.

korek!

Kaning ako opinyon lamang:

Tinuod man sab nga, ang mga bata karon pang sinean ug mga sexy clothes, mga bata pa gud kaayo na, nya paunayunan sab sa guinikanan kay nindot lagi tan-awon ang anak nga sexy ug gwapa maong pakapinan ug lipstick ug make-up pud.

Nya kung manga-rape na ang mga anak kay nahimo namang tentasyon sa mga mata sa kalalakihan nga uhaw ug unod, ang rapist jud maoy sad-an ug han-ukan sa tanan, pero dapat sab unta nilang huna-hunaon nga part sab sila nganong ingon niana ang nahitabo.

Ang ako bana, naanad naman jud ni siya nga ingon ani ang lifestyle sa diri pero, ang iya gisulti nga kung makaanak mi babae, dili jud niya pasul-ubon ug ingon ana nga sinena. Puston nalang guro niya, or mag Maria clara 

Based on the spirit of the law penalizing sexual harassment, bisan pa maghubo ang babae, it should not be interpreted as an invitation for sex.so men and those who have the same preference of men should grow into mature beings to consider that.

the person who has the information in his/her state of mind that he/she is sexually harassed is the victim and considered witness in court. it is up to the one charged to justify his act to be considered a normal and acceptable act to prove that the state of mind of the witness is wrong and is not a normal reaction.
