Our Oversexualization of Girls Is So Bad We Sexualized an Original Disciple of Jesus
Mary Magdalene Deserves Honor, We Sexualized Her
Human society has long been addicted to sexualizing women, and it is a huge problem. No one is safe from sexualization. The internet works hard day and night to try to sexualize young girls. Pedophiles get a pass in some circles that call them “minor attracted persons” or MAPs if you want a trendy acronym. Young women are stripped down and paraded all over reality TV. The hotter and dumber the better. Mothers aren’t safe, as MILF (another acronym) is a fun and popular term to bandy about. Marriages aren’t safe, as the once-popular site Ashley Madison proved (and most of the users on there were men looking for married women, surprise, surprise.)
Society sexualizes women and girls from top to bottom. And it isn’t just men. It is everyone. Many of the biggest makeup and clothes brands are proudly female-owned and operated. They sell sexualization as empowerment and make billions doing it.
And while all of that has become so commonplace that it hardly causes us to bat an eye, there is one example that doesn’t often get used that shows us how far down this path we have walked.
